Extended Reality for Pre-Mission Training and Planning

Abstract

The nature and methods by which war is fought is constantly evolving. Militaries are constantly looking for ways to be the most advanced and gain an operational advantage over enemies. As military operations have evolved to be fought in urban environments, so too must the training, technology, and methods. The ability to simulate a common operating picture that provides realistic and accurate experiences and representations of the operational environment (OE) provides an immense advantage. While in the near future military operations will continue to take place in urban environments, the world is anticipating a cyberwar to come. As extended reality technology continues to evolve, a real possibility exists that future wars may not be fought on a real world battlefield at all, but rather a visual one.
