And they have a surprising new weapon in their counter-terrorism arsenal: \u2018serious games\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Serious games: bringing counter-terrorism training into the 21st century\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VRaq3ICV9Iw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Militaries and security forces the world over have been using real-world training, classroom sessions, and even online tutorials to better prepare their people for potentially deadly incidents. And gaming is itself not a new trend. As Richard de Silva <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defenceiq.com\/defence-technology\/articles\/counter-terrorism-goes-virtual\">reports<\/a> for <em>Defense IQ<\/em>, \u201cSerious gaming platforms have been used by militaries for years, including the multi-service Virtual Battlespace software used extensively by NATO nations, and the Harbour Protection Table-Top Exercise employed for maritime security training.\u201d These exercises work because they model real life, creating a realistic scenario that plays out much like those trainees might encounter.<\/p>\n<p>But advances in virtual and mixed reality (VR and MR) tech are bringing new realism and immersion to these \u2018serious games, better preparing soldiers, first responders, and counter-terrorism operators for the dangers and decisions they face. The latest training system is called <a href=\"https:\/\/richardvanhooijdonk.com\/keynote\/trends-2040-ben-jij-er-klaar-voor\/\">AUGGMED<\/a> (AUtomated serious Game scenario Generator for MixED reality training), and it\u2019s bringing counter-terrorism training into the 21st century.<\/p>\n<h2>The training software of the future<\/h2>\n<p>In collaboration with the BMT Group, the University of Greenwich, the University of Birmingham, and nearly a dozen security and police agencies across Europe, AUGGMED was developed to revolutionise <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/keynote\/the-future-of-cybercrime-and-terrorism\/\">counter-terrorism<\/a> preparedness. A three-year, \u20ac5.5m project developed under the auspices of the European Commission&#8217;s Horizon 2020 programme, it\u2019s designed to be accessible, broadly adoptable, and easy to use. Running on hardware that\u2019s as basic as a laptop with Windows OS and off-the-shelf headsets, AUGGMED\u2019s Automated Game Scenario Engine (AGSE) develops non-linear encounters that closely simulate the real thing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31285\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31285\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31285 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/Auggmed-1.jpg\" alt=\" A soldier wearing a VR headset and holding VR controllers, with a laptop in the background \" width=\"800\" height=\"500\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31285\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In collaboration with the BMT Group, the University of Greenwich, the University of Birmingham, and nearly a dozen security and police agencies across Europe, AUGGMED was developed to revolutionise counter-terrorism preparedness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These modest hardware requirements make the system mobile and affordable, but better yet, they allow multiple agencies to train cooperatively in real time. Spanish paramedics, German counter-terrorist teams, and French policemen can respond to a simulated international emergency, vastly improving inter-agency cooperation and understanding. That\u2019s critical, as emerging terrorist threats don\u2019t care about political borders &#8211; or to the extent that they do, they use responders\u2019 poor coordination to gain an advantage.<\/p>\n<h2>Serious gaming in a realistic or real environment<\/h2>\n<p>And because of the immersion created by VR and MR, trainees get a dose of realism that was previously impossible. In VR mode, AUGGMED immerses trainees in a virtual world that\u2019s as realistic as cutting-edge graphics processing units can manage. And in MR, first responders work in the real world with an overlay of high-tech magic that creates virtual objects and people with whom they can interact. This hyper-realism is a critical component, and it helps these brave men and women learn to cope with stress and the emotional costs of danger, too. As de Silva <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defenceiq.com\/defence-technology\/articles\/counter-terrorism-goes-virtual\">explains<\/a>, it \u201coffers them new ways to learn decision-making skills, emotional management techniques and analytical thinking while under pressure\u201d. That can be the difference between life and death for responders as well as hostages.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Virtual Reality military &amp; police training simulator by Motion Reality\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w7tuxz8aaXY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Helping European security agencies get up to speed<\/h2>\n<p>Three pilot projects have been used to evaluate AUGGMED\u2019s effectiveness. The first allowed the West Yorkshire Police force to train armed officers in scenarios related to a firearms assault. The second enabled the <em>Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya<\/em> (FGC) to virtually investigate a suspicious package, involving paramedics in post-explosion scenarios. The final pilot was a joint multi-scenario training session for the Piraeus Port Authority and the local police. AUGGMED created virtual bombs and attackers for the Greek security units to find and neutralise in real space using MR.<\/p>\n<p>As the tests proved, AUGGMED has what it takes to better prepare Europe\u2019s guardians for their tough jobs. And by improving individual and team skills, enhancing cooperation, and providing incredible realism, it\u2019s helping to keep us all safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The training software of the future Serious gaming in a realistic or real environment Helping European security agencies get up to speed Terrorism is a frighteningly real threat.
