The Growing Need for XR Training in Defense

A recent GAO (Government Accountability Office) report highlights a major challenge facing the U.S. Department of Defense:  a shortage of realistic and scalable training environments for military personnel. As warfare technology evolves, training methods must keep pace to ensure troops are prepared for complex, high-stakes operations.

The report emphasizes the increasing reliance on immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) to bridge this training gap. This shift validates the core mission of Fynd Reality, to provide scalable, cost-effective, and highly immersive XR training solutions through our Fynd CORE platform.

What the GAO Report Says – And Why It Matters

The GAO report highlights key challenges in military training:

🔹 Limited Access to Real-World Training Environments – Physical training sites are expensive, require extensive coordination, and can’t always replicate real combat conditions.

🔹 The Need for Realistic, Scenario-Based Training – Modern warfare demands training that prepares soldiers for complex, unpredictable scenarios in urban, cyber, and multi-domain battlefields.

🔹 Advancing Technologies in Training – The military is turning to VR and AR solutions to enhance realism, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.

These insights reinforce why Fynd CORE is a game-changer for military and defense organizations looking to modernize training without the logistical and financial burden of large-scale field exercises.

How Fynd CORE Aligns with the Future of Military Training

At Fynd Reality, we designed Fynd CORE to directly address the challenges outlined in the GAO report. Our platform provides immersive, scalable, and collaborative training environments tailored to the needs of modern defense operations.

✅ Realistic, Scenario-Based Training

Fynd CORE allows users to create, customize, and execute complex training scenarios in VR and AR. This means soldiers can practice mission-critical operations in a safe, repeatable, and cost-effective virtual environment.

✅ Collaborative Training for Up to 30 Users

One major advantage of Fynd CORE is multi-user training. Up to 30 personnel can train together in the same virtual scenario, regardless of location. This feature supports joint operations training, command decision-making exercises, and teamwork drills, making it an ideal solution for large-scale military readiness programs.

✅ Scalable & Cost-Effective Training

By leveraging XR technology, Fynd CORE reduces the reliance on expensive physical training sites while still providing high-fidelity simulations that mimic real-world operations. This ensures that military units remain mission-ready without the high costs of traditional training.

✅ Scalable Security to Match Your Needs

Fynd CORE offers flexible security solutions with both cloud-based and on-premise deployment options. Organizations can choose the security level that best fits their requirements, ensuring safe and controlled training environments that meet strict defense and industry standards.

The Bottom Line – XR is the Future of Defense Training
