 The range of simulation is flexible

Since virtual reality simulation is highly configurable, trainings can be

configure based on the needs of the soldiers. For instance, if the soldiers

need to prepare themselves to a swarm of enemies for their next mission,

it can be easily done using virtual reality. Configurable environments give

a lot of room for a variety of scenarios and their combinations. Also, by

recreating nausea-causing and claustrophobic conditions, you can help

soldiers adapt better without getting them on an actual plane.

Disadvantages:
 Security

There are a lot of disputes regarding the security level of VR devices used

by military personnel. As a result, that hinders the implementation of

virtual reality technologies in training.

This issue will be partially solved when it is decided what authentication

level is enough for usage – a simple code or something more

sophisticated like voice activation.

Another security issue is that there is no fool-proof method to protect a

network from cyber-attacks. And if any classified information is leaked or

stolen, it can have unprecedented consequences for the affected party.
