Realistic training hardware

Weapon handling and sensory feedback are central to the system

BattleVR combines immersive headsets, tetherless processing options, tracked synthetic weapons and configurable feedback. ArcheonXT weapon and recoil hardware can reproduce platform-representative handling across multiple form factors.

Haptic options can add sensory cues where they support the training objective. Hardware selection is agreed around the exercise, user population, facilities and safety case.

Tracked primary and secondary weapon options
Configurable electric, gas or sensored recoil approaches
Virtual or mixed-reality headset configurations
Portable and fixed-install deployment options
Instructor observation and after-action review

Guided weapon-handling lessons

Build weapon-handling skills through structured VR instruction

BattleVR-SWT (Synthetic Weapons Trainer) is a guided lesson module for teaching and rehearsing weapon-handling procedures in virtual reality.

Instructors can use step-by-step lessons and repeatable drills to introduce procedures in a controlled environment before learners progress into wider BattleVR range and scenario activity.

Guided, step-by-step weapon-handling lessons
Repeatable procedural drills
Controlled practice before more complex scenarios
Designed to support instructor-led teaching

PRODUCT INTERFACE

See the instructor and trainee experience

BattleVR gives instructors a live view of range activity, trainee performance and scenario progression. These product screenshots show how a session can move from configuration and observation to scoring and tactical review.

BattleVR instructor interface showing a four-lane virtual range, trainee feed, target controls and session recording — **Instructor-controlled range session**Monitor the trainee feed, configure targets by lane and manage the exercise from one interface.

BattleVR multi-lane virtual firearms range with four targets and a trainee view — **Multi-lane firearms training**Run structured marksmanship exercises with configurable target distance, timing and lane activity.

BattleVR target review interface showing shot placement, trainee score and recorded movement trace — **Shot placement and performance review**Inspect target results and recorded movement to support evidence-led coaching and after-action review.

BattleVR instructor camera controls showing target, trainee and free-camera viewpoints — **Flexible instructor viewpoints**Switch between target, trainee and free-camera views to observe technique and scenario behaviour.

BattleVR low-light green vision training mode displayed in the instructor interface — **Low-light training conditions**Change environmental conditions so learners must adapt their handling, observation and decision-making.

Brightened BattleVR tactical scenario showing multiple moving adversaries in an indoor training environment — **Dynamic tactical engagement**Progress beyond static targets into configurable scenarios with moving characters and a more complex training environment.

Deployment and integration

Build the system around users, facilities and existing training

BattleVR can be configured as a portable capability or fixed installation. The required tracked area, participant numbers, hardware, compute and instructor positions are established during implementation planning.

Integration requirements can include VBS4, HAWK, metaCAN and other approved synthetic-training components. Each interface is scoped against the customer’s data, network and assurance constraints.
