Transforming Complex Decision-Making with AI and Extended Reality

XRF, founded in the Canary Islands and headquartered in Spain with offices in Madrid, Las Palmas, and Miami, is a breakthrough technology company combining artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR) to create situational-awareness platforms. These solutions empower decision-makers in defense, security, emergency response, and critical infrastructure to navigate complex scenarios with clarity and confidence.

Origins and Mission

XRF’s mission is to simplify complexity by transforming large volumes of data into actionable insights. Their goal? To enable fast, informed decisions in high-stakes environments by integrating live data, advanced analytics, simulations, and AI-driven recommendations.

From the outset, the company has focused on enhancing situational awareness, which entails not just knowing what is happening, but understanding why, how it might evolve, and determining optimal responses.
