Twist Robotics unveiled Obrii Anti-Shahed — a new version of its simulator for intercepting long-range targets

Twist Robotics has unveiled a new iteration of its unmanned mission simulator, Obrii, titled Obrii Anti-Shahed. The system is engineered to practise interception scenarios for long-range unmanned aerial vehicles and to protect strategic facilities within designated sectors. Defender Media was informed of this development by the company.

The Obrii UAV mission simulator serves as a tactical platform for training unmanned system operators and mission planning. The system incorporates over 50,000 km² of front-line terrain, reconstructed using high-resolution satellite data. The platform accurately models topography, communication environments, and the operational impact of electronic warfare (EW) systems.

The latest version of the platform facilitates training scenarios specifically for intercepting Shahed-type unmanned aerial vehicles. This iteration introduces a radar module that simulates radar system performance, accounting for the radio horizon and enabling the detection of aerial targets at ranges up to 25 km.

The module generates target tracks on a tactical map and is integrated with radar simulators that replicate the full operational cycle of short-range air defence units — from initial target acquisition and tracking to the final interception decision. Furthermore, the system supports comprehensive crew coordination training, encompassing both the operator and the navigator.

Obrii Anti-Shahed enables modelling of diverse combat scenarios using various types of unmanned systems. The simulator features FPV drones, bombers, UAVs configured for ground strikes, and interceptor platforms, including the Octopus and Sting systems.

According to the developer, the platform is currently utilised by more than 50 training centres, over 150 combat units, and educational initiatives. Ukrainian military personnel are granted complimentary access to the simulator.
