The RAF Regiment Training Wing at RAF Honington have introduced a Virtual Reality dismounted close combat training system as part of Project READY GUNNER ONE.

Initially funded by the Defence and Security Accelerator and supported by Astra, the system provides a realistic virtual environment for Phase 2 trainee gunners to practice drills and skills normally completed in the field.
The system from SimCentric uses the Unreal Engine SAF-TAC to deliver high fidelity visuals, along with essential simulation functions such as exercise control, scenario editing and detailed after-action reviews.
The trial is in progress and is recording trial evaluations based on pass rates and overall ability after training with the Virtual Reality system. It will also include both student and instructor feedback to fully assess the impact of Project READY GUNNER ONE.
