The Ukrainian company Skiftech, a leading developer of training programs and equipment for the military, will take its achievements to the United States. The company is 9 years old, and during this time it has produced more than 4 thousand simulators for the Armed Forces, the National Guard, the State Border Guard Service, Special Operations Forces, etc.
Expo I/ITSEC
Expo I/ITSEC is held annually in the American city of Orlando, Florida. The organizers declare their event as the world’s most significant event in the field of modeling, simulation and training. To be more specific, it is the Interagency Simulation and Training Industry Training Conference (I/ITSEC), which is organized and hosted by the National American Training and Simulation Association, a subsidiary of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA).
Last year’s event brought together about 18,000 people and 517 companies. The conference was attended by representatives of more than 60 countries. Thus, it is the largest industry event in the field of education and training of the military and other representatives of the security sector.
Ukrainian presentation
And this year, there are Ukrainians among the participants. In particular, Skiftech, a company that develops and manufactures large-scale ecosystems for training military personnel for all types of weapons united by common software. In particular, this approach allows all data to be analyzed after the training and the lives of defenders to be saved.
The tactical training of soldiers is based on laser tag technologies to maximize the approximation of training conditions to real combat. Importantly, it is a manufacturer of a full range of tactical simulators.
At the exhibition in Orlando, Ukrainians will present unique developments, including those used to train Ukrainian defenders.
Simulators and the latest developments
At Expo I/ITSEC, a Ukrainian developer will present:
- Individual kit for military personnel 4.3.
- Software for military exercises.
- A laser-free simulator of the Stinger man-portable air defense system, which is already creating competition for Western systems.
“This simulator is based on the analysis of the video stream from the camera installed in the pipe, as well as the analysis of other control parts. The resulting video stream is overlaid with the image of the reticle (what the shooter sees), and the physical reticle of the simulator is aligned with the camera axis,” says Maryna Shevchenko, a spokesperson for the company.
According to her, the ecosystem’s training equipment allows shooters, snipers, tankers, artillery, mortar crews, military engineers, and anti-aircraft gunners to interact.
