Reflections On the Need and Expectations of Education 5.0-Based Military Engineering Education: How to Train István Dobó and Gergely Bornemissza in an Industry 5.0 Environment?

The era of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and 5.0 (I5.0) requires efficient human-machine interaction supported by artificial intelligence (AI), mass production enabled by robots, and the exploitation of opportunities offered by dual-use tools and systems such as drones and sensors in military engineering research, development, and innovation. The introduction of new skills requires rigorous preparatory work and the development of effective knowledge-transfer methods that adapt to the constantly changing needs of military engineering education, recognizing and exploiting the opportunities of Education 4.0 (E4.0) and 5.0 (E5.0) personalized requirements. This study aims to review the elements and possibilities of competence and personality development in military engineering university-level education, including elite training, pedagogical expectations, and the need for extensions and integration into education at Ludovika University. By introducing the methods presented in this study, it is possible to train military engineers who can effectively address the challenges of developing innovative technical solutions and evaluating AI-supported Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks in war theaters aligned with I4.0 and I5.0 opportunities, exploiting ad-hoc creative on-site development opportunities of military equipment.
