VR Tactical Readiness
VR - Project
OneBonsai has closely worked together with Special Force experts to define the optimal contents of such a training system. This has allowed our system to be tailor-made for this sector, while still being flexible enough to be extended where needed.
Challenge
Special Forces training is costly, risky, and limited by scarce facilities and reduced realism over time.
Solution
OneBonsai and VRTS created a VR training system with realistic weapon replicas and immersive tactical scenarios.
Approach
The system was co-designed with Special Forces experts, enabling multi-user sessions, real-time tracking, and objective performance review.
Outcome
The client now trains 24/7 across shifts with reliable VR setups, reducing costs and risks while improving preparedness.
Challenge
Training Special Forces is both costly and risky, as creating realistic environments often requires training ammunition, which increases the chance of injuries and drives up expenses. On top of this, specialized facilities such as shooting houses, 360° ranges, and TTI setups are limited, making access difficult and reducing training opportunities. In parallel, mooring training remains highly challenging: classroom instruction provides little realism, while real-world practice can expose sailors to dangerous conditions like snapback zones, heavy equipment failures, and other life-threatening risks.
Solution
OneBonsai, together with VRTS, developed a VR training system for Special Forces that supports multiple scenarios such as TTI, shoothouse, tactical entry, AMOK, and 360° ranges. The platform uses 1-to-1 weapon replicas integrated into VR, is quick to set up, and supports 6–10 trainees simultaneously with advanced optical tracking. It immerses users in realistic scenarios to practice procedures safely, detects mistakes in real time, and allows unlimited practice or unguided exams to build confidence. Performance tracking and after-action reviews further enhance learning outcomes, while the solution remains scalable and cost-efficient for long-term training needs.
