Many modern armies around the world are investing in Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) tools to upgrade their systems, outdo the opposing force, and avoid casualties on the battlefield. These investments significantly change the balance of power in the world and provide considerable advantageous to win a war. In this study, AR/VR tools used to support military applications and training were examined. These tools were evaluated by taking into account immersion and training capabilities in the field of education in addition to hardware features, usage areas and military skills. According to the scope of this study; augmented and virtual reality systems used in the military field, the current AR/VR tools and solutions used during military operations, the factors limiting the inclusion of AR / VR tools in military applications, and the difficulties encountered in the creation and use of AR / VR systems were examined and solutions to the problems were proposed. In the last part, a general evaluation was made on the future and risks of AR/VR systems. As a conclusion preliminary information was revealed that will guide approaches for the designing, implementing and training of AR / VR systems for the future.

Dünyadaki birçok modern ordu, kendi sistemlerini daha üst seviyeye çıkartmak, rakip güç karşısında üstün gelmek ve savaş alanındaki can kayıplarının önüne geçmek için Artırılmış Gerçeklik (AR) ve Sanal Gerçeklik (VR) araçlarına yatırım yapmaktadır. Bu yatırımlar, dünyadaki güç dengelerini önemli ölçüde değiştirebilir ve bir savaşı kazanma için dikkate değer avantajlar sağlayabilir. Bu çalışmada, askerî uygulamalara ve eğitimlere destek amacıyla kullanılan AR/VR araçları incelenmiştir. Bu araçlar; donanımsal özellikleri, kullanım alanları ve askerî alandaki yeteneklerinin yanı sıra eğitim alanındaki daldırma ve eğitim yetenekleri de dikkate alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Belirlenen bu kapsama göre askerî alanda kullanılan artırılmış ve sanal gerçeklik sistemleri; askerî operasyonlar sırasında kullanılan güncel AR/VR araçları ve çözümleri, AR/VR araçlarının askerî uygulamalara dâhil edilmesini sınırlayan faktörleri ve AR/VR sistemlerinin oluşturulmasında ve kullanımında karşılaşılan zorluklar dikkate alınarak inceleme yapılmış ve problemlere çözümler önerilmiştir. Son bölümde ise AR/VR sistemlerinin geleceği ve riskleri üzerine genel bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak gelecekte yapılacak AR/VR sistemlerin tasarımı, uygulaması ve eğitimi yaklaşımlarına yol gösterecek ön bir bilgi ortaya konmuştur.
