3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface is presented by a heads-up display.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors includes one or more of geolocation sensors, image sensors, or inertial motion sensors.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual reality depiction is represented in the graphical user interface based on at least one of a measurement or graphic data recorded using the asset, wherein the measurement indicates a change in orientation of the asset.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the virtual reality depiction is represented in the graphical user interface based on at least one of a measurement or graphic data recorded using the asset, wherein the measurement indicates an ammunition level of the asset.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface includes one or more virtual reality depictions including a top-down geographic view of the deployment location, wherein the positions and orientations of the asset are represented within the top-down geographic view.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more virtual reality depictions further include one or more of a three-dimensional asset orientation view or a user body camera feed view.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual reality depiction further represents a detected threat within the deployment location.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the detected threat within the deployment location is represented by its proximity to the asset within the virtual reality depiction.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual reality depiction includes visual prompts representing information relating to one or more controllers of a plurality of assets.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual reality depiction includes a legend of icons represented within a graphical user interface, the icons corresponding to one or more controllers of a plurality of assets.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the connection point receives at least some of the signals from wearable devices worn by controllers of a plurality of assets, wherein the application software uses sensor information included in the signals received from the wearable devices to update the virtual reality depiction.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the connection point receives some of the signals from robotic devices, wherein the application software uses sensor information included in the signals received from the robotic devices to update the virtual reality depiction.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the connection point is one of a plurality of connection points which receives signals used by the application software to generate or update the virtual reality depiction based at least in part on data received from a plurality of assets.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein an area of threat within the deployment location is identified within the virtual reality depiction based at least in part on data received from a plurality of assets.
17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application software processes the signals received from a plurality of assets within the deployment location to determine a region of anticipated future threat, wherein the region of anticipated future threat is presented in the virtual reality depiction.
18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application software processes the sensor information against information stored within a knowledgebase to detect the anticipated future threat.
19. A system for weapon system monitoring and virtual reality presentation, the system comprising:
a graphical user interface presenting a virtual reality depiction of an asset deployment location with images generated based at least in part on data received from sensors associated with at least one asset within the weapons deployment location; and
an augmented reality system presenting metadata related to at least one asset within the weapons deployment location in conjunction with the virtual reality depiction presented in the graphical user interface.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the asset is at least one of a firearm, wearable device, stationary device, robot, animal with imaging device, unmanned aerial vehicle, aircraft, vehicle, mortar, mobile device, cell phone, tablet computer, personal digital assistant, mobile connection point, body camera, sensor, or satellite.
