The American army has everything it needs for its own metaverse, enough to improve the training of its units at minimal risk and cost.
After becoming Meta, Facebook announced color: the metaverse becomes a top priority. Many have taken this adventure today. In the United States, the Pentagon is also working on its own metaverse for its army, the US Army.
The US military has everything it needs for its own metaverse
Recently, we are talking about the Spaceverse, developed by the American Ari Force, for the preparation and training of its troops. Recently, Wired reported that the US military has already developed its own metaverse. Thanks to artificial intelligence, these environments allow you to improve the training of units with minimal risk.
If there is a lot of talk about the metaverse today, then the elements inherent in this set have been around for a long time, whether they are virtual or augmented reality environments, 3D simulations, or screens on helmets. For ten years, virtual reality has been used in the training of pilots and sailors of the US Army, to significantly reduce costs. With the help of virtual reality, the US Army can prepare its units for battlefields around the world and even help veterans deal with post-traumatic stress.
Enough to improve the training of their units while minimizing risks and costs
Boeing, for its part, is using augmented reality to train its mechanics before they even tamper with a naval aircraft. Every mechanic must go through this phase of virtual training before proceeding with the general maintenance of the device.
Some time ago, the US Army signed a contract worth about $22 million with another US giant, Microsoft, to supply at least 120,000 HoloLens helmets. And here the goal is clear: to integrate more and more mixed reality into the training of departments.
The American army has a colossal budget, the largest on the planet. It also has very easy access to the very best in terms of modern technology. She doesn’t need to outsource her metaverse to Meta, Microsoft, she just needs to assemble the various elements she already has at her disposal.
