The Steps Involved

Every project like every business and brand is diffrerent, here are some steps we find common between deployments in your industry.

Get Started

Step 1: Define mission KPIs

Pick goals: readiness, risk reduction, or cost savings. Align with command and IT/security.

Choose readiness/risk/cost goals
Align with command & IT
Confirm security classification

Step 2: Configure modules & tech

Choose VR, AR, projection, or mixed reality. Lock vendors, select 2–3 modules, integrate LMS/DoD IT.

- VR/AR modules - Projection/LED ops - LMS/DoD IT integration - Staff enablement

Step 3: Run pilot exercises

- 1 VR mission sim - 1 AR workflow - 1 projection/LED ops room - 50–200 staff

Step 4: Test, Record, Improve In Live Service

- Readiness up 15–25% - Real‑world risk down 20–40% - Cost savings tracked - Expand modules and cohorts

Frequently Asked Questions

Are XR sims classified training tools?

Yes. They must meet security and classification requirements.

How do we prove ROI?

Through readiness uplift, incidents avoided, and cost reductions.

Do projection/LED installs need permits?

Yes. All installs must meet codes and safety standards.

What’s the MVP?

1 VR mission sim, 1 AR overlay, 1 projection/LED ops room.

How do we scale?

Add more modules, expand to larger cohorts, and replicate across units.

What to track from day one

Track mission outcomes, retention scores, error rates, incidents, cost savings. Classified data secured per policy.

- mission_outcome - retention_score - error_rate - incident_flag - cost_saving

Tech stack & ops

VR rigs, AR devices, projection/LED ops rooms, LMS/DoD integration, SPARC analytics. Ops: IT security, classification compliance, offline fallback.

- VR rigs - AR devices - Projection/LED ops rooms - LMS/DoD IT integration - Security compliance

Example MVP

1 VR mission sim, 1 AR maintenance overlay, 1 LED/projection ops room. LMS integrated, classification compliant.

- VR mission sim - AR maintenance overlay - LED/projection ops room

Why immersive works in defense & emergency training

VR/AR simulations replicate mission scenarios with full fidelity, letting teams practice safely, repeatedly, and cost‑effectively.

Improve retention by 15–25%
Reduce real‑world risk by 80–90%
Lower equipment/fuel/downtime costs
Train 10–100s in parallel with XR

Reduce training risk and cost
Improve readiness and retention
Scale exercises safely with XR

Defense & Emergency Simulation Playbook

You need to prepare teams for complex, high‑risk missions without real‑world danger or cost.

This playbook shows how XR simulations deliver readiness, safety, and efficiency.

KPIs & targets

**Readiness** +15–25%. **Risk** −20–40%. **Cost savings** significant. **Scale** 50–200 per pilot. Ops crash‑free ≥98%.

ROI snapshot

Inputs: readiness uplift × value, incidents avoided × cost, training hours saved × wage, fuel/equipment costs reduced. Payback

- Readiness uplift × value - Incidents avoided × cost - Training hours saved × wage - Fuel/equipment saved - Payback

Pilot Design Example

Run 1 VR sim, 1 AR overlay, 1 projection/LED ops room. Target: 50–200 staff, KPIs met, classification compliant.

- VR sim - AR overlay - Projection/LED ops - 50–200 staff - Zero incidents

Safety, Privacy & Compliance in Defense XR

All installs must meet DoD security and classification rules. Projection/LED installs must pass fire/electrical codes. AR/VR requires opt‑ins where appropriate. No biometrics unless cleared. Accessibility defaults included.

• DoD security & classification • Fire/electrical codes • Opt‑ins • No biometrics (unless cleared) • Accessibility defaults

Risks & mitigations

Risks: IT/security pushback, classification delays, low adoption. Mitigations: early IT alignment, cleared vendors, staff enablement.
