The Royal Tasmanian Regiment Lieutenant Cameron McDougall said the device provides training to the soldiers through operation in a virtual world.
“We’ve got all the same vehicles, the same equipment, the same weapons, everything we would have in reality,” he said.
The virtual training provides the troops with skills required for a five-month peacekeeping mission and allows an interactive experience with the police and locals on the ground, according to Sky News.
