An innovative VR complex for training mobile air defense calculations based on a full-scale model of the Browning M2 machine gun. The solution is designed to develop skills in hitting air targets, coordinated actions within crews, and quick decision-making in changing combat conditions.
TRL 9 kit status
Purpose:
Training mobile air defense units to operate in real combat conditions, including attacks by drones (Shahed-136, Lancet-2), missiles, and helicopters. The complex takes into account Ukraine’s combat experience in 2022–2023 and complies with the methodological recommendations of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Characteristics:
– Full-scale Browning M2 model with realistic ballistics and recoil simulation
– Full integration with VR headsets and external monitors
– Training possible in protective gear
– Software support:
– Simulation of time of day (day, evening, night)
– Weather conditions (snow, thunderstorm, no precipitation)
– Night mode with thermal imager and spotlight
– Choice of air target types: drones, missiles, helicopters
– Flexible settings for weapons, weather, targets, and scenarios
– Ability to transition from VR to real-life training with the M.I.L.E.S. system
Advantages:
– Realistic modeling of combat situations
– Reduced ammunition and logistics costs
– Increased fire accuracy and adaptability
– Development of teamwork and coordination
– Ability to practice scenarios for combating FPV drones and kamikaze drone attacks
