FULL CIRCLE MOMENT

For Brad Denn, founder of HAVIK and former U.S. Navy SEAL, partnering with the Navy SEAL Museum was more than just a project — it was a way to give back. The idea for HAVIK first came to Brad while serving in the SEAL Teams, and today, active-duty SEALs and other Special Operations forces train with HAVIK’s DoW systems in the field.

Brad shared how proud he was that HAVIK’s technology could be seamlessly adapted to create this new Navy SEAL Xperience, allowing the public to step into a mission and feel what service members experience every day.

Take a listen as Brad reunites with his former Admiral Tim Szymanski inside the HAVIK Navy SEAL Xperience to catch up, reflect, and talk about all things SEAL.

RECRUITMENT MODULES

The HAVIK VR attraction at the Navy SEAL Museum has shown how immersive technology can do more than entertain — it can inspire enlistment.  

Even at our I/ITSEC Booth, groups of ROTC cadets were immediately drawn in by the realism, intensity, and teamwork required in the virtual mission that HAVIK created.

This same immersive power can be leveraged by any branch of the Armed Forces as a next-generation recruitment tool — transforming curiosity into motivation and giving future service members a first-person look at what serving truly feels like.
