Finnish firm Varjo has partnered with Norwegian company Fynd Reality to supply extended reality (XR) hardware for a training program supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Under the initiative, Varjo’s XR-4 Secure Edition headsets are integrated with Fynd Reality’s simulation software, enabling training across multiple vehicle types.
An initial batch of 39 systems has been delivered through a contract with the Norwegian defense procurement agency.
The program, valued at 82.5 million Norwegian kroner ($8.2 million), covers familiarization, procedural tasks, and maintenance workflows, including training on platforms such as the Leopard 2 A4 main battle tank.
According to the companies, the deployment addresses a key constraint, as most operational vehicles remain in active use on the front lines and are not available for training.
XR-based simulation allows personnel to train on systems and procedures in lieu of direct access to the equipment, helping shorten preparation timelines and reduce operational risk.
Ukrainian partners are expected to develop additional training content locally following deployment, extending the system’s use across units and mission sets.
System and Training Architecture
The solution is built around secure XR headsets integrated into the Fynd CORE platform, which supports multi-user, scenario-based training environments.
This allows multiple participants to operate within the same virtual scenario, simulating coordinated tasks and operational conditions.
The platform is designed to replicate vehicle systems and workflows with high visual fidelity, enabling users to practice procedures, maintenance tasks, and coordination without access to physical platforms.
It is also used to prepare personnel who operate alongside armored units but do not receive full vehicle training.
The hardware is designed for use in controlled environments and aligned with defense-grade standards, supporting deployment in sensitive operational contexts.
