The US Air Force has the significant mission of providing time sensitive, mission critical medical support for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high yield Explosive (CBRNE) events on the battlefield and beyond. Current methods for CBRNE medical training are both logistically complex and cost-prohibitive due to the need to procure and set up mock equipment, including decontamination lines, hazard simulants, etc. The innovative Virtual Reality Medical Simulation System facilitates fully immersive, multiplayer virtual simulation training for CBRNE protocols. This system provides the warfighter opportunities for effective training opportunities that simulate the psychosocial and environmental realism of CBRNE incidents, as well as the development of a comprehensive training curriculum covering HAZMAT and CBRNE response.
