Next-gen war games: Leveraging AI and game theory for immersive military training for security

Abstract

Military training is imperative to familiarize soldiers with the intricacies of contemporary warfare. However, conventional training approaches usually fail to adapt to changing threats and are not characterized by a real- world environment. This project examines how future war games using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Game Theory can offer an immersive military strategy learning experience. While AI helps in creating dynamic scenarios, Game Theory aids in modeling decision-making under uncertainty. The study explores the available literature on immersive technology like virtual reality (VR), game theory for security simulation, as well as AI application in military training among other factors. We recommend that an AI-based war gaming platform should have Scenario Generation: This involves consideration of aspects such as weather patterns or topography and enemy tactics that contribute to realistic battlefields that are dynamic.
