Live, Virtual, Constructive training interoperability – Joint operations and service-specific solutions

Last updated: 18.7.2025
Grant

The Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) training interoperability program, part of the European Defence Fund (EDF), aims to enhance multi-domain operations (MDO) training through advanced simulation technologies. This initiative focuses on developing an interoperable, flexible, and cost-effective LVC training capability for EU Member States and Associated Countries. It seeks to bridge current gaps in LVC interoperability, promote standardization, and integrate novel technologies like AI and XR to create realistic and efficient joint training environments.
