This means exploring hostile environments and dealing with unexpected or unwarranted situations. These situations form part of a normal tour of duty but require the necessary skills and expertise … Continue reading Virtual reality army exercises
There are a range of weapons specially designed for virtual reality military training which include ‘VR guns’, armoured vehicles and submarines which launch virtual torpedoes. These virtual weapons are similar in size, shape and appearance to their real life counterparts but do not cause harm to their owners. They are used during virtual reality combat … Continue reading Virtual reality military weapons
Where does virtual reality fit into military history? One example is linked to the development of flight simulators – a well established training tool for new pilots – which has embraced virtual reality. The newer models use electronics, computers, tracking devices, software and high quality graphics to provide an immersive flying experience to trainee pilots. … Continue reading Virtual Reality Military History
Military vehicle simulations are one of the most successful implementation of the VR technology. Sophisticated computer models are called simulators. They are a duplicate or a replica of the vehicle. They behave exactly with as much efficiency as a vehicle does. But it works in a controlled environment. So in short it’s much safer. Flight … Continue reading Flight Simulators
Virtual reality is used to design combat situations or a ‘virtual war’ for use as a training tool. A simulated war zone is an ideal way to train soldiers for engagement with the enemy but in a controlled way. It removes the risks associated with a real world combat situation such as death or injury. … Continue reading Virtual reality war
The Ground Vehicle Simulators are not as high profiles as flight simulators. Simulators are one main examples of the Future Combat System (FCS) – the foundation of the armed forces’ future. The FCS has a collection of battle command system. They also have a system of advanced vehicles and weapons platforms. These FCS simulators are … Continue reading Ground Vehicle Simulators
The Army use virtual reality in a variety of ways, from combat simulations through to medic training and even recruitment campaigns. In the latter case, the British Army has used virtual reality to recruit potential soldiers from the 18 to 21 year old group. They have used virtual reality headsets which display interactive content. The … Continue reading Virtual reality and the Army
