Even if the military higher education system has a special regime and can be associated with a vocational education, it adapts to the surrounding reality. It must ensure the security necessary for the civilian environment and face challenges in everyday life. This paper presents the intro-duction of augmented reality (AR) in military higher through a project entitled Implementation of Digitalization in Defence Higher Education. The project was proposed and developed through a partnership comprising four institutional teams of teachers and students. Their goal was to identify themes from the study programs that could be aligned with the project's objectives and contribute to the modernization of educational resources and teaching materials. Educational resources were developed for 12 topics from the study program, including augmented reality applications for 4 of these topics. Particularly noteworthy are the opinions of students and teachers regarding the use of AR in the educational process. The paper highlights changes in the perception of using augmented reality in the educational process by students and teachers within the military system. Training military students to interact effectively with military technical systems requires continual updates to training methods and active participation from both teachers and students in enhancing practical applications for technical and non-technical disciplines. Introducing augmented reality into the military educational process as an innovative teaching method posed significant challenges, particularly in terms of using the software needed to create AR applications. The partners involved in the project development considered the introduction of augmented reality in the educational military process as an innovative teaching method and hope to continue developing AR applications for as many topics as possible.
