Virtual Reality and Web 3D/360 technologies are experiencing rapid development and are increasingly applied in military training systems to enhance training effecƟveness and minimize operaƟonal risks. This paper presents the research and development process of a virtual cockpit simulaƟon system for the CASA C- 295 aircraŌ based on Web 3D/360 technology. The system is designed with a layered architecture, integraƟng 360-degree panoramic environments, interacƟve 3D models, technical documentaƟon, and mulƟmedia content, enabling flexible deployment across various devices, including web browsers and VR headsets. The system construcƟon involves capturing real cockpit panoramas, processing images, creaƟng 3D models, and linking content through a metadata framework. The system was piloted at the 918th Air Regiment and received posiƟve feedback, with high saƟsfacƟon levels reported by both training experts and trainees. Results indicate that the system has significant potenƟal to support technical training, improve spaƟal awareness, and foster self-paced learning among trainees, while also serving as a cost-effecƟve and efficient soluƟon in the process of digital transformaƟon in military educaƟon and training.
