Virtual reality in the training of military teams on the example of urban warfare

Virtualna stvarnost (VR) je tehnologija koja omogućava korisnicima da interaktivno komuniciraju s virtualnim svijetom koji je stvoren računalnim generiranjem. U vojsci, VR se koristi za obuku vojnika i taktičkih timova za specifične misije, kao što je urbano ratovanje. U ovom radu je prikazana usporedba korištenja virtualne stvarnosti (VR) u obuci pripadnika OS RH sa ostalim pripadnicima oružanih snaga drugih zemalja, te analizirani NATO standardi u pogledu urbanog ratovanja. Na temelju namjenski izrađenog scenarija na temu urbanih operacija, održana je vježba u sustavu VBS 2.0 unutar Simulacijskog središta. Rad naglašava prednosti virtualnog sustava u postupku uvježbavanja standardnih operativnih postupaka, te je pogodan za razradu NATO standarda u urbanom ratovanju.Virtual reality is (VR) technology that allows users to interactively communicate with a virtual world created through computer generation. In the military, VR is used for training soldiers and tactical teams for specific missions, such as urban warfare. This paper presents a comparison of the use of virtual reality (VR) in the training of members of the Croatian Armed Forces with other members of armed forces of other countries, and analyzes NATO standards regarding urban warfare. Based on a purpose-built scenario on urban operations, an exercise was conducted in the VBS 2.0 system within the Simulation Center. The paper emphasizes the advantages of the virtual system in the process of training standard operational procedures and its suitability for the elaboration of NATO standards in urban warfare
