Virtual Reality is transforming training in security and defense: it makes it possible to train high-risk situations without exposing anyone, repeat them as often as needed and assess each participant's performance. With DeuSens Defense, our simulation and training line, we develop military simulators and virtual shooting simulators for armed forces, security forces and the defense industry.
Benefits of Virtual Reality in defense
- Zero risk: high-risk situations are trained without exposing anyone.
- Unlimited repetitions: the same scenario, as many times as needed, with controlled variables.
- Measurable performance: each participant is assessed in every session.
- Unavailable assets: training on equipment that cannot be used for practice because of risk, cost or third-party ownership.
- Early training: operators learn new equipment before it reaches them.

Practical applications of Virtual Reality in defense
- High-risk situation training: repeatable scenarios to prepare what cannot be rehearsed any other way.
- Tactical training in virtual reality: coordinated interventions by several officers in the same space.
- Weapons handling, from handguns to artillery.
- Vehicle and system operation and maintenance, step by step.
- Command post exercises.
- Training on new equipment before it enters service.
To present vehicles and systems at full scale we use mixed reality in defense.
Multi-user virtual shooting simulator
Our virtual shooting simulator allows one or several officers to train at the same time in the same physical space, rehearsing coordinated interventions. It uses sensor-equipped replicas that reproduce the weight, dimensions and recoil of the service weapon, with official holsters and accessories and no controllers: officers act with their own hands. It includes precision, reaction, draw and crowd-control exercises.

Dual-use technology: civilian experience serving defense
What works in the civilian world can be taken to defense, and we have already done it. Our virtual reality training for Aena firefighters, covering more than 30 aircraft and with performance measurement, trains on assets that cannot be used for practice. That same challenge is part of everyday life in defense.
Technologies and tools used to develop military VR simulators
- Virtual and mixed reality headsets: PICO 4 and Meta Quest 3, in LBE format (on-site experiences for several users at once).
- Sensor-equipped replicas and tracking: weapons that reproduce weight, dimensions and recoil, synchronized with the virtual environment.
- Real-time 3D simulation engines and measurement: performance logging for each participant in every session.
EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE: We help you choose the best option for your case.

The future of Virtual Reality in defense
Simulation is no longer an add-on in defense but an operational need: preparing what cannot be rehearsed any other way and training on new equipment without waiting for the physical unit. Trends point to increasingly realistic multi-user military simulators, data-driven performance assessment and dual-use technology.

Frequently asked questions:
What is virtual reality in defense?
It is the use of virtual reality simulators to train armed forces, security forces and the defense industry in high-risk situations, without exposing anyone and assessing each participant's performance.
What is a military virtual reality simulator?
It is a virtual training environment that reproduces military situations, weapons, vehicles or systems to practice without risk: weapons handling, vehicle operation and maintenance, command post exercises and training on new equipment.
How does a virtual shooting simulator for security forces work?
Officers wear VR headsets and sensor-equipped replicas that reproduce the weight, dimensions and recoil of the service weapon, with no controllers. One or several officers train at the same time in the same physical space, and the system assesses each one's performance.
Which Spanish companies make virtual reality shooting simulators?
DeuSens, an immersive technology studio based in Zaragoza, Spain, develops multi-user virtual shooting simulators through its DeuSens Defense line for armed forces, security forces and the defense industry.
What is dual-use technology in virtual reality?
It means taking to defense what already works in the civilian world. For example, DeuSens' virtual reality training for Aena firefighters trains on assets that cannot be used for practice, the same challenge defense faces.

Conclusion:
Virtual reality offers a safe, measurable and repeatable way to train in security and defense. With DeuSens Defense we bring our experience in custom simulation and civilian training to those who operate, maintain and make decisions about the equipment our security depends on.
