Abstract
With technologies such as robots, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and quantum computing being developed to attain digital superiority, modern military applications have the potential to fundamentally alter defense operations and tactics. The two technologies that have the potential to transform combat are augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Large-scale simulation environments for the military and paramilitary sectors might be produced using AR and VR, changing everything from soldier training to the creation of fresh warfighting tactics. Tactical augmented reality, digital twins, weapons aiming, spatial orientation, situational awareness, and combat simulations are among the applications of AR that work well. According to Goldman Sachs, by 2025 the AR/VR sector will bring in US $1.4 billion in income from the military alone.
