Abstract: Contemporary armed conflicts are characterized by the increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). One key approach is firearm-based defense. This paper presents the concept of an innovative trainer based on augmented reality (AR) technology. The system integrates a virtual environment generated by the Unreal Engine in real-time (including realistic models of drones and firearms) with real-world maps displayed through HoloLens 2 glasses. The paper covers the technical design and implementation, enabling battlefield simulation. The prototype includes features such as dynamic training scenario generation, real-time user position synchronization, and realistic UAV behavior simulation. Findings highlight AR’s potential in military training while addressing challenges like GPS integration and cross-environment synchronization. The system demonstrates selected capabilities for the future of military training.
