Technology is addressing a major challenge: when operational vehicles are fully engaged on the front lines, access to them for training is limited, making it difficult for soldiers to become familiar with vehicle procedures and maintenance. XR training allows personnel to train safely, efficiently, and remotely, ensuring readiness before deployment.

The project involves scanning real vehicles in Ukraine to create highly accurate virtual replicas that reflect actual operational conditions and support realistic training scenarios.

The training includes the role of gunner, driver, tank commander and loader. Students note the realistic appearance of the virtual tank and the fact that its functionality matches real-life operation.

The platform UI is very intuitive and accurately reflects how the vehicle operates.

Ihor Barkatov, Head of the Scientific Research Laboratory at the MIAF NTU “KhPI”, highlighted the significance of modern training methods: “By integrating XR technology into our programs, we are introducing innovative methods that combine hands-on experience with procedural knowledge. This approach accelerates learning, builds confidence, and ensures that Ukrainian soldiers are fully prepared for frontline deployment.”

The contract is executed with financial support from the Norwegian Defense Material Agency (NDMA) that represents a key example of Norwegian–Ukrainian cooperation in defense technology and highlights Norway’s continued support for Ukraine’s defense forces.

“This partnership leverages Sensorama’s content expertise and Fynd Reality’s advanced platform to provide operationally relevant training under challenging conditions,” said Sergii Tereschenko, CEO of Sensorama.
