Immersive Army Combat Training with Virtual Reality

Abstract

Military training often requires high-cost, high-risk environments. Hence, finding more efficient methods becomes critical. Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) has been proposed as an answer to this demand: it offers a realistic, controlled environment with which to train soldiers in combat scenarios. This project will design an immersive VR training environment, utilizing Unity, to enhance readiness in combat through simulated weapons handling, tactical movements, and strategic decision making. This powerful 3D rendering and VR integration with real-time AI-driven enemy behavior could allow the training scenarios to be interactive and, thus, highly dynamic. Increased engagement, better learning outcome results, weapon proficiency, faster decision-making, and thus, valued military training solu tions for users were shown with the system.
