Designing A Generative AI Platform For Tactical Training Of Junior Officers
Abstract: Tactical decision-making lies at the core of officer education, yet current training methods remain constrained by structural and pedagogical limitations. Traditional wargames offer valuable experience but are organisationally difficult, time-intensive, and often emphasise flows of play over cognitive decision-making. Tactical Decision Games (TDGs) partially address this gap, but their effectiveness is limited by instructor… Read More

Embracing Emerging Tech To Educate Tomorrow’s Officers
Abstract: Cognitive warfare targets perception and decision-making, yet officer training lacks the operational constructs that structure kinetic or cyber operations. This doctrinal gap leads to fragmented detection, weak attribution, and curricula that prioritise procedural certainty over adaptive judgment in the face of ambiguity. This article introduces the Cognitive Defence Cycle (CDC), an operational model mapping… Read More

Framework And Elemental Training Approaches For Military Operations
Abstract: Extended Reality (XR) is increasingly used for training in military and emergency response contexts, yet its pedagogical application to high-risk and cognitively demanding environments remains underdeveloped. This paper argues that XR’s primary value lies in its ability to regulate cognitive load through staged, elemental training rather than holistic simulation. Problem statement: How can Extended… Read More

Enhancing Communicative Skills For Combined Operations Through A Multimodal XR-AI Training System
Abstract: Communicative interoperability is vital in multinational coalition warfare. While current Extended Reality (XR) systems excel in procedural motor training, this study proposes developing the KMA-XR-AI system to expand this scope to the communicative ‘fog of war.’ The system is intended to synergise multimodal sensing with adaptive AI to complement traditional XR capabilities. By fusing… Read More

Gamification of Tactics: Enhancing Combined Arms Thinking and Decision-Making in Officer Cadets
Abstract: Recent conflicts underscore the practical relevance of simulation-based and gamified approaches to military training. From the use of commercial platforms for pilot familiarisation to incentive-based systems for drone operators in Ukraine, gamified logic is increasingly shaping how military personnel train, adapt, and perform under operational conditions. Based on an exploratory field trial and drawing… Read More
