ARVR POLICY CONFERENCE PANEL TO EXPLORE IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN MILITARY TRAINING AND OPERATIONS
Washington, D.C. – XRA and the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) will host the 5th Annual AR/VR Policy Conference on Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025, in Washington, D.C. This event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, academia, and researchers to explore the evolving policy landscape for immersive technologies.
A featured panel, “Military Training and Operations with Immersive Technologies,” will examine how immersive tools are redefining how the U.S. military trains, plans, and operates. Delivering high-fidelity simulations that accelerate readiness and cutting-edge capabilities that enhance real-time decision-making, these technologies are becoming essential to modern defense strategy. From mission rehearsal and battlefield visualization to remote maintenance and command coordination, immersive systems are transforming the way defense operations are carried out.
As these systems are integrated deeper into the defense enterprise, the panel will also explore the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. Military leaders, technologists, and policy experts will discuss the risks these technologies introduce—and the policy frameworks needed to ensure they remain secure, resilient, and aligned with U.S. strategic objectives.
