Abstract:

Since its emergence, the concept of metaverse has been applied to many fields. At present, the transformation of military intelligence, digitalization and information technology is advancing in an all-round way. The military enabled by metaverse technology will accelerate the process of military reform in the new era. To explore the potential application of metaverse in the military field, this paper first introduces several key technologies of metaverse and their functions in the military field, and then discusses some potential directions for the application of metaverse in weapon development and support, training and teaching of officers and soldiers, tactical command and situational awareness, systematic cooperative operations. The challenges in the current and future development of the military metaverse are considered, and its future development and application are discussed.

Key words: metaverse technology, military metaverse, virtual reality, system simulation, system-of-systems confrontation
