MRIGlobal Award from the joint project manager for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear special forces expands the use of augmented reality technology for defense training

KANSAS CITY, Mon., May 18, 2021 / PRNewswire / – MRIGlobal received a program from the Joint Project Lead for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Special Forces (JPL CBRN SOF) to expand and expand the use of augmented reality technology to provide flexible equipment anytime, anywhere, familiarization, operational and maintenance training for the warfighter.

In an ongoing partnership with ForgeFx Simulations, a team of engineers will design, develop, and deploy Microsoft HoloLens training applications for a range of on-site CBRN sensors. The warfighter can then complete flexible, self-directed multi-user and remote device training with or without (ie virtual hologram) access to the CBRN sensors.

“Our efforts with ForgeFx Simulations to design, develop and deliver Microsoft HoloLens training modules are a great example of how recent technological advances are accelerating the development of novel applications and features for training the next generation warfighter,” he said Dean GrayPh.D., Vice President of Defense, MRIGlobal. “Ultimately, this training helps our soldiers to prepare more efficiently and efficiently for their operational missions.”
