The adoption of the HoloLens is part of a greater plan - known as Plan Jericho - to technologically transform the Australian military into a “fifth-generation fighting force.” “Specifically the scenario and simulations explored today show the utility this technology can have on our decision making models and behaviour in certain situations, and how they can shape and aid our responses to threats,” McDonald said, according to the press release. “In the training environment, it allows both trainers and trainees to share a visually rich interactive experience where the real world can be overlaid with digital imagery and information in the form of holograms,” Lawes said, according to the press release.Īnd military scientist Kevin McDonald said the HoloLens’ AR tech could help Australian soldiers better respond to threats. Saab’s mixed reality applications program lead, Inger Lawes, praised AR’s potential to improve military training exercises. “Augmented reality technology is evolving and this demonstration aims to increase awareness and interest in how ARV can be adapted and used for future Defence applications - either for planning or training,” Davies said, according to the press release. Saab and Australia’s Defense Science and Technology Group demonstrated the Microsoft HoloLens to 50 military personnel on October 2016, showcasing how the headset can offer augmented reality vision (ARV) to assist in strategy, threat management and training, according to a Royal Australian Air Force press release.Īustralian Air Force Chief Leo Davies said military communications, visualizations and training will be “heavily influenced” by AR tech. The Australian Air Force and Saab Australia are trialing the Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality headset as the Australian military evolves into a “fifth-generation fighting force.”
