Air defense simulator - U-FORCE SCIENTIFIC AND PRODUCTION COMPANY

System Purpose

The system is built around the Browning M2 machine gun and VR technologies

The system software was developed in accordance with the methodological recommendations “For combined-arms units on countering strike UAVs of Iranian manufacture ‘Shahed-136’ (‘Geran-2’) and Russian ‘Lancet-2’ (based on the experience of the Russo-Ukrainian War 2022–2023)”, VP 3-00 (116) 120, approved on 9 March 2023 by the Head of the Directorate of Doctrines and Training of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major General Oleksii Taran.

Air defense skills training

The complex enables service members to train effectively in conditions that closely replicate real combat situations.

Precision firing training

The Browning M2 simulation system, with its realistic ballistics, allows trainees to practice engagement techniques against aerial targets.

Enhanced coordination and teamwork

The complex supports the development of coordinated actions by mobile air defense units for rapid response to airborne threats.

Simulation of multiple combat scenarios

The system can reproduce a variety of scenarios, including attacks by aerial platforms of varying complexity, to develop rapid adaptation skills.

Reduced ammunition and maintenance costs

Using the training complex significantly reduces costs for ammunition and training logistics.

Improved accuracy and faster decision-making

The complex helps improve operator professionalism, enhancing the effectiveness of combat task execution.

How It Works

MODIFICATION OF THE TRAINER WITH M.I.L.E.S. TECHNOLOGY

Thanks to additional equipment from U‑Force — an FPV drone trainer, a force‑on‑force laser simulator, and mobile air‑defense mock‑ups — simulated training can be transferred to real‑world conditions, allowing the following types of exercises:

Training of mobile air‑defense unit operators in realistic environments against moving and static ground targets (infantry, vehicles) within the laser‑tag system (M.I.L.E.S.)

Training of FPV drone operators in hunting/intercepting mobile air‑defense units

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the technical specifications of the air-defense simulator?

The complex consists of a mock-up Browning M2 machine gun, a control computer unit, a VR system, a personal computer with two monitors, and software. Main parameters: power supply 220 V, power consumption up to 800 W, weight ≈ 60 kg, operating temperature −10 … +40 °C, footprint from 4 m². Suitable for indoor use or a mobile container.

What software is used and which scenarios are available?

The ARMS software is installed; it simulates different target types (missiles, helicopters, Shahed-136), weather conditions, time of day, and difficulty levels (basic, combat, group). It provides statistics on hits, reaction times, and each trainee’s results.

How realistically does the machine gun behave?

The mock-up has a metal body and accurate geometry of the original Browning M2. Features include recoil simulation, limits on aiming angles, and a barrel “heating” effect during prolonged firing. Parameters correspond to the combat characteristics of the real system.

What skills can be trained?

The complex allows training in detecting, tracking, and engaging aerial targets; operating as part of mobile air-defense groups; responding to different attack types; and coordinating between the aimer and the gunner. The system records all user actions for instructor analysis.

What modules and options are available in the complex?

It supports training of two MVG crews in the same environment for team interaction.

What are the warranty terms and service options?

Warranty — 24 months. Post-warranty service available within Ukraine. Remote technical support, software updates, and video instructions provided. Instructor training is included in the price.

Is special personnel training required?

No special training is required: basic computer skills for the instructor and basic machine-gunner skills for trainees are sufficient.

What are the operating costs?

No ammunition or consumables required. The only costs are electricity and periodic maintenance every 6 months. Costs are reduced by more than 30× compared to live-fire exercises. Service life — over 5 years.

What are the delivery and installation conditions?

The complex is delivered in protective cases, ready to operate. Installation — up to 1 hour; no special room required. Can be deployed in a classroom, hangar, or field tent. Delivery, installation, and training are included. Manufacturing lead time — up to 30 days.
