An Emperical Analysis to Determine a Common Augmented Reality or Mixed Reality Solution to Imporve Training and Operational Capabilities for the Marine Corps

Abstract

I Marine Expeditionary Force is seeking to learn more about the development of applications for Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, and Virtual Reality Systems to assist with completing a range of tasks within the Marine Corps. Conducting aircraft maintenance is a use case that would benefit from using augmented reality or mixed reality. Aircraft maintenance practices and supply chain management supporting aircraft maintenance can be improved with better data and seamless access to data. Augmented reality displays can overlay data that the user can reference in real time without the need to look away at a computer screen or map. Inclusion of artificial intelligence can assist the user with providing automated functions, selection options, and instructions for the performance of different tasks via an augmented reality wearable device. Augmented reality and mixed reality, supported by artificial intelligence can support multiple other military use cases.
