VR/AR military tech projects take center stage at Kyiv’s Defence Vision Day
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry reports that Kyiv held Defence Vision Day, an event that gathered the best military projects developed using virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies.
Recently, the ministry announced a competition on creating VR/AR complexes for training and simulations for the Ukrainian military. The goal of Defence Vision Day was to find the best solutions and present them to the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and potential investors.
Out of 55 submitted projects, 24 were selected for presentation. These included air defense shooting simulators, first aid training, and drone operation management. Three projects—Lifesaver Lab: Lifesaver SIM, a joint project by SoftServe, UCU, and the 7th Carpathian Border Guard Detachment, and STRATA22—received grants from the co-founders of Uklon, the main partner of the event. The Ministry of Defense said it will continue working with the teams to implement their solutions in the Defense Forces.
