Indoor Skydive Australia (ASX:IDZ) is leading the ASX tech stocks today, up 22.22% off the back of news it plans to acquire virtual reality production studio Red Cartel.

In 2019, Red Cartel built the world class VR free roam game for ISA’s FREAK entertainment business, but the main draw card is Red Cartel’s military VR training tool.

It makes sense – considering the military training applications already in place ISA’s indoor skydiving centres and the fact that company was founded by two ex-SAS soldiers.

The military VR training tool which has been developed with current defence requirements in mind and is scheduled for live trials within 6 months of the acquisition.

“The acquisition of Red Cartel unleashes some major opportunities in both the consumer and enterprise markets,” ISA Group ceo Wayne Jones said.

“The ability to custom build content and specific equipment to military grade positions us to engage direct with military and law enforcement units around the world.”
