“Dual-use” technologies are designed to benefit both civilian and military sectors — like GPS or night vision, which originated in defense but now support everyday use. The rise of immersive XR platforms like Fynd CORE shows that training solutions can also be dual-use, offering immense benefits across sectors.
XR Is the Next Dual-Use Frontier
A recent analysis by Army‑Technology highlights how augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) is now critical for military training. Their report states that synthetic environments offer a way to adapt quickly to evolving battlefield needs by mimicking real-world complexity without physical constraints.
Academic research describes dual-use technologies as those that blur the boundaries between civilian and military applications — enabling broad use across multiple sectors. However, coordinating this kind of cross-sector adoption still presents practical challenges.
Fynd CORE exemplifies this crossover: a cloud-based, no-code XR platform built to be just as useful for public protection, educational institutions or in a defense force.
How Fynd CORE Operates as a Dual-Use Platform
-
Flexible Training Across Domains
Whether training police units, fire brigades, or military squads, Fynd CORE supports immersive scenarios — from hot-zone communication drills to field medicine or equipment maintenance — across devices that trainees already use. -
Speedy Content Updates
Just as militaries need to incorporate lessons from current conflicts, industries like energy and emergency preparedness rapidly change too. Fynd CORE’s no-code scenario builder lets teams create, update, and share new training scenarios quickly — with no tech support required. -
Scalable, Cost-Efficient Deployment
Dual-use platforms thrive where economies of scale matter. Fynd CORE is cloud-native, device-agnostic, and ready to scale across agencies, campuses, or international deployments — without physical training sites or heavy logistics.
Looking Ahead
As BCG and others emphasize, XR training accelerates skill acquisition, reduces risk, and improves retention in both civilian and military spheres. Fynd CORE embodies these benefits in one accessible platform.
Modern training must be:
-
Relevant: Reflect real-world risks and workflows.
-
Responsive: Update quickly to reflect new intel or regulations.
-
Replicable: Be available anytime, anywhere on demand.
-
Scalable: Serve teams of any size across borders.
That's the promise of dual-use XR - and Fynd CORE delivers it today.
