Virtual Reality training is revolutionising how soldiers and officers are trained, complementing or replacing traditional training methods.

The learn-by-doing approach in VR improves engagement, knowledge retention and builds the confidence to apply critical skills in real operations.

VR training also enhances safety by allowing personnel to face dangerous scenarios and rehearse complex procedures without risk.

Defense recruitments are increasing rapidly, creating challenges in ensuring consistent competence levels across large groups of new personnel. Traditional training methods make it difficult to measure and maintain skills in a quantifiable way, which can lead to gaps in readiness and increased operational risk.

Virtual Reality training can be deployed to rapidly upskill new recruits and sharpen the hands-on skills of experienced personnel, significantly reducing the time needed to achieve mission readiness.

The Gleechi military training programme covers a wide spectrum of defense skills, from equipment operation to safety drills.

Military tasks often require the use of specialised equipment, vehicles and weapons. Real-world training can be limited by cost, logistics, and safety concerns.

Virtual Reality training enables soldiers to rehearse full-scale operations in a virtual environment that mirrors reality. Mistakes become part of the learning process, not a setback.

Tools, weapons and vehicles can be accurately recreated, allowing for realistic and repeatable mission training.

By replicating real environments, equipment and mission scenarios, VR training removes these constraints and empowers personnel to train anywhere, anytime.

Soldiers gain the freedom to learn at their own pace — repeating missions, testing tactics and preparing for real operations.
