Metaverse-powered simulations bring Israel\u2019s AI gaming technology to Uganda, blending immersive gameplay with tactical training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Uganda.- Israeli defence-tech startup Combatica<\/strong>, known for its advanced simulated defence training, has officially launched its first virtual-reality (VR) Gaming Park in Uganda<\/strong>, marking a bold leap in immersive gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility fuses virtual reality with AI-powered simulations, transforming traditional gaming into a high-tech, interactive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors at the park in the town of Busika will step into Combatica\u2019s 2.1 platform, featuring more than 50 scenarios, seven maps, night vision modes and real-time analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combatica, initially designed to train combat units using AI capabilities<\/strong>, unveiled its 2.0 version six months ago, offering extensive scenarios and advanced night-vision modes. Now, with the launch of the Gaming Park, Combatica said it has evolved into an even more immersive and powerful platform that pushes the boundaries of virtual training and gaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince then, the system has advanced to Combatica 2.1<\/strong>, which includes improved analytics and data, and allows fighters to check the duration of the response and obtain details of the locations of the damage on or in the enemy,” said Combatica, according to Globes Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players can experience fully interactive simulations<\/strong> that blend strategy, skill and quick thinking. Founded four years ago, Combatica has rapidly become a global name in tactical training platforms. Its systems, initially designed to train combat units, now cater to both military and civilian markets, a dual use model that the company has perfected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sets Combatica apart is its portability and flexibility<\/strong>. The entire system fits into just two suitcases, allowing operators to introduce new challenges dynamically, creating unpredictable and engaging gameplay that mirrors real-world tactical scenarios. This approach is credited with making training and now gaming more effective and thrilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combatica\u2019s innovation has caught global attention<\/strong>. Global research and industry analyst Frost & Sullivan recently named Combatica 2025\u2019s market leader<\/strong> in tactical training platforms, praising its agility in adapting to market demands. The company\u2019s sales have tripled in recent months, signalling growing interest both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ugandan park is the first of several planned international expansions<\/strong>. Similar facilities are set to open in the US and Europe by 2026, offering enthusiasts and professionals alike a taste of AI-powered, metaverse gaming experiences that were once exclusive to military training.<\/p>\n\n\n
