What are the main benefits of the armed forces using this VR training tool?
Sustainability is definitely one. Not doing training live saves a huge amount of emissions, and it’s repeatable. When you’re doing something live with an aircraft, you’re going to get one shot because you’re going to run out of fuel and need to go back. With VR you can restart a scenario at the push of a button. I speak to a lot of the aircrew who say this would be beneficial for them – knowing they can rehearse and do wrong now so that they learn all those key points before doing it live in the air.
