Using VR technology, trainees can obtain visual, auditory and somatosensory experiences that are close to real effects, quickly master the operating skills of the equipment, and make simulation training for some common or complex scenes.

  Accurately simulated rescue equipment, rapid handling of sudden and dangerous situations such as earthquakes and fires, and ensuring the successful completion of rescue missions... Different from previous rescue operations or drills, these operations are all completed with VR virtual reality technology equipment.

  Recently, in the professional training room of a detachment of the Second Mobile Corps of the Armed Police Force, officers and soldiers wearing VR glasses, sitting in front of a simulator for rescue training.

"VR technology can realistically simulate earthquake disaster relief, clearing obstacles, emergency military routes, and fire rescue. The officers and soldiers in rescue training seem to be in a variety of real scenes. The "eighteen martial arts" needed for rescue can be obtained. One tempering." Hu Yuhang, the training staff, told the reporter of Science and Technology Daily.

  Military training, VR technology is promising

  The reporter learned that in the past, due to space and location restrictions and adverse weather effects, the quality of the daily training of the detachment was often not guaranteed.

  During the flood season last year, there was frequent rainfall in the station. The officers and soldiers were unable to train normally for several weeks and had to hide indoors.

In actual rescues, in the face of emergencies, there are occasions when officers and soldiers are unfamiliar with the disposal plan, making it difficult to complete quick rescue missions.

  Chen Tao is the excavator operator of a certain squadron. When he talked about his first rescue experience, he felt a lot: "In the past, there was no battlefield environment in training, and training was always based on individual subjects. But when you really went to the disaster site, You will find that your usual training experience cannot be used flexibly."

  After inspection, the detachment learned that VR virtual reality technology has been used in scene exercises, military training, and combat simulation, and it is playing an increasingly important role in the military field.

  Using VR technology, the military can build a professional equipment training platform to realize equipment performance display, operating principle simulation, virtual driving training and operation training, etc.

Trainees obtain visual, auditory and somatosensory experiences close to real effects through virtual interactive peripherals, quickly master the operating skills of the equipment, and conduct simulation training for some common or complex scenes.

The key is that its good controllability, safety, non-destructiveness, freedom from climate influence, freedom from space and site restrictions, and low cost can just solve the problem of daily training that is easily affected by space and climate.

  The detachment actively introduced virtual auxiliary equipment and innovatively combined it with rescue training, but the effect was surprisingly good.

  In the VR simulation training room, through the VR simulation training device to set the system to build the operation scene and select the mode to restore the disaster relief scene to the greatest extent, not only reduce the safety hazards and equipment wear in the professional training process, but also effectively improve the operation level of the officers and soldiers. .

  "Wearing VR glasses, the handling of various situations is rushing. In the past, our learning method was'full house,' and the form was boring. Since VR technology entered the army, the usual rescue scenes can be shown in front of us, allowing us to be more realistic. Feel the responsibility and responsibility as a professional rescue force of the armed police force." Soldier Huang Sitong said with emotion.

  Virtual battlefield, exercise hard skills in actual combat

  Li Wuping, a fighter of a certain squadron, had not outstanding performance in professional training before, but in the first "Liangjiang 2020" professional competition held by the detachment last year, he won the first place in the crane subject.

  After receiving the certificate, he happily said: "Usually training time is very limited, and my own foundation is relatively thin. Since I have a VR simulation trainer, I use the rest time to supplement training and switch my professional scene on the simulator. The mode of learning has achieved a multiplier effect."

  In the simulation training room of a squadron, squadron leader Zhang Jianhua is introducing the main rescue equipment of the army to the officers and soldiers, demonstrating the use of VR equipment, and then organize the recruits to watch professional operation videos after the explanation.

  "In the past, our professional training methods were relatively single and the effect was very average. This time we introduced VR technology to reproduce the training and rescue real scenes, completely subverting the traditional on-site teaching mode, officers and soldiers can walk on the battlefield from zero distance, and the training effect far exceeds expectations. , Received a warm welcome from everyone." Qi Yuwei, Chief of Training Section, introduced.

  Che Jiawei, the leader of a squadron, also said with deep feeling: “Last year we were building roads and training troops in the field, and it rained continuously for a while. The working surface was originally narrow, and it was muddy and slippery when it rained. The machinery cannot be operated at all and it is too dangerous. Using VR technology, we have carried out targeted systematic training, and we will not be afraid of this situation again."

  The training scope has been expanded and the training effectiveness has been improved.

  Not long after the recruits left the company this year, the detachment organized new soldiers to conduct professional training on the VR simulation training device, so that the new soldiers could experience the operation and use of professional equipment in advance, and they could also learn professional knowledge in an “immersive” way indoors.

  Zhang Qin, chief of staff of the detachment, introduced: "The VR+ training mode has entered the classroom and changed the traditional indoor teaching mode. The officers and soldiers learn professional knowledge immersively through multiple senses such as vision, hearing, and touch, and the effect is very good."

  The reporter learned that since last year, the detachment has organized more than 1,500 officers and soldiers to enter the VR simulation training room for training, and practice hard work in the virtual battlefield environment.

Not long ago, in the monthly examination organized by the detachment, the excellent performance rate of the chief agency and the grassroots detachment in professional operation reached 95%.

  At present, the VR+ training mode is widely acclaimed in this detachment, and officers and soldiers have gradually increased their awareness of active learning and active training.

In the next step, the detachment also plans to put VR technology into combat spirit cultivation, mental behavior training, etc., to further boost combat effectiveness.
