The statistical population of the study was officers and employees of IRI Police Department who were selected by using sampling method. 290 samples were selected and a questionnaire was used to collect required data. Structural equation modeling and partial least squares technique were used to analyze the data. The results of hypothesis testing showed that in the process of accepting the use of virtual reality for military training, trust in this technology and its security have a direct impact on the ease of perceived use and perceived usefulness of users. Also, the direct impact of infrastructure on perceived ease of use and cost perceived usefulness was confirmed. It was shown that the ease of perceived use and perceived usefulness affect the attitude of using virtual reality in military education.
