Abstract — The progress of immersive technologies has significantly transformed military training, education, and simulation-based applications. Augmented Reality(AR) and Virtual Reality(VR) have revolutionized training methodologies by providing realistic simulations, enhancing combat training, and improving situational awareness. This paper examines the role of AR and VR in military training, focusing on their impact on combat condition, mission planning, and interactive learning environments. The study evaluates various AR/VR-based military training systems, including combat simulations and tactical training environments, Analyzing their effectiveness in enhancing soldier performance. Findings indicate that AR and VR technologies enable risk-free combat training, Improve resource utilization, and improve decision-making processes. Additionally, the integration of haptic feedback in AR/VR simulations allows soldiers to experience realistic physical sensations, further improving training effectiveness by replicating real-world combat scenarios more accurately. Despite these advantages, challenges such as hardware limitations, high implementation costs, and security problems restrict widespread usage. Future advancements in immersive technology, along with cost-effective and adaptable solutions, can further enhance military training capabilities, ensuring more efficient and adaptive training methodologies.
