Skiftech, Ukrainian military training systems developer, has unveiled a concept for a new product \u2014 a drone simulator designed for practising munition drops. Based on a Mavic drone<\/a>, the simulator is intended for training both precision drops and neutralising enemy drones from the ground. The concept was presented at the DOU Days conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is being developed in three directions: a Mavic-based drone with a drop mechanism, FPV drones with alternative strike technologies, and anti-aircraft drones. For the latter, special sensors are being developed and attached to flying targets to simulate the destruction of aerial threats. These use grenade models fitted with laser emitters that simulate fragment dispersal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simulator employs a drone equipped with hit-detection sensors to replicate combat conditions. A key feature is that personnel can engage the drone using their standard service weapons fitted with a two-way laser fire contact system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce the drone is hit, its ability to drop grenades or transmit signals is disabled, allowing for a realistic battlefield simulation,\u201d said Skiftech specialist Andriy Ryabenkyi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simulator is expected to go into production within a few months. Preliminary orders have already been received, and the system is set to be delivered to military units in due course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
