ABSTRACT
In the article, the authors describe the potential of using virtual reality systems in the
aspect of increasing information superiority on the modern battlefield. The purpose of
the article is to identify virtual reality systems as a tool to support this process. At the
beginning, the authors present the genesis of virtual environments and they make a critical
analysis of several virtual reality simulators, which have been the subject of scientific
research in the last few years. In this way, the authors emphasise the dynamic development
of the ICT sector and the possibility of using its technical innovations to support military
operations. Next, the authors discuss data processing, which was correlated with the cycle
of strategic thinking. Presentation of the hierarchy of information in information systems
was the result of these analyses. In addition, the authors refer to the implementation of
the communication process in the context of maximising the information superiority. They
point to the relationship between the process of designing interactive virtual reality systems
and communication theory. Finally, they highlight the advantages and disadvantages
of virtual reality simulators in the context of increasing information superiority on the
modern battlefield.
