Abstract

As we see, the world has wriggled into the new floruit & digitalization is a critical part of it. While talking on the digital world, limelight can be tossed mat the part of Virtual Reality (VR). It can be observed VR usability can be seen in almost every sector of the economy. This research will focus on one of the vital fragments of the economy that is impact on operational training using VR technology in military. High-fidelity simulations are essential for military industrial training to enhance safety, operational efficiency, and skill development. VR has evolved as a vital technology in the domain, contributing experts & learners in various ways like; it’s worthwhile and can help in various unhazardous sessions too. This mentioned research explores the implementation of VR-based industrial training in the military fragment, focusing its usage on enhancing technical skills, research, decision-making, and operational issues. The research evaluates VR technology in various areas, including emergency response training, equipment maintenance and battle scenarios. By studying & analyzing various case studies evidence & research, the study highlights the advantages of VR, such as increased engagement & motivation in sessions also improved knowledge retention amongst the users. Additionally, it mentions challenges & their solutions. The findings accentuate the potential of VR to mutate military industrial training, ultimately leading to ameliorate preparedness and coherence in defense operations.
