Ep 53 - 5G Use Cases for the DoD – Part 2: Augmented Reality

Author: Government Technology Insider November 26, 2023 Duration: 11:44

Augmented reality (AR) is changing the way that the Department of Defense (DoD) workforce and the warfighter are communicating, training, and providing care. When AR is paired with 5G, it could provide many benefits for the DoD, including improved telehealth, remote support, and better overall workflows.

When it comes to workforce training, these types of AR-enabled solutions could also enhance remote learning and connectivity, as well as provide access to step-by-step workflow instructions – essentially in real-time. Enterprise use cases around military manufacturing and equipment repairing are becoming more common. And, future use cases are emerging around visual analytics, edge computing, as well as simulated battlefields.

These were the key themes in the second part of our 5G Use Cases for the DoD podcast on Augmented Reality Workforce Training, where Karl Dahlin, AR/VR Product Leader, Wireless, Edge, and IoT Solutions at Verizon; and Matt Margolis, Director of Business Development and Strategic Relationships at Vuzix, discuss this topic further.
