Military personnel from the Center for Scaling Technological Solutions presented the UPC «Frontir» — a comprehensive training system for unmanned systems units, which is designed to train operators of ground robotic complexes (GRC).
As the developers told dev.ua, the simulator allows military personnel to acquire practical skills in controlling IRCs in scenarios as close to combat conditions as possible, practice various tactics of use, and coordinate large groups.
The Frontier SPC operates in an open world format with an area of 25 km². The location includes a diverse landscape — fields, forests, a settlement, engineering and fortification structures. Separate functional zones are created for practicing specific skills.
The simulator has already integrated the most common models of UAVs in service with the Ukrainian Defense Forces, as well as drones such as the DJI Mavic for support. The list of equipment is planned to be expanded.
The simulator recreates the dangers, obstacles, and risks of losing equipment using a large number of mechanics. It is possible to set the time of day for practicing night missions.
Multiplayer mode and scenario editor allow units to practice joint actions and create their own tactical scenarios. In addition, the system integrates with the NRC and Mission Planner management programs for planning and controlling mission execution.
The team takes into account the practical experience of the military in the combat zone and is working on new functions — in particular, modeling the radio-electronic environment, wetlands and mud, breakdowns of individual equipment components, as well as changes in weather and seasons.
Currently, the system has been implemented in five training centers, three military universities — in particular, the Zhytomyr Military Institute and the Military Institute of Telecommunications and Informatization — as well as in 30 separate military units.
The developers note that the system is being scaled up, and the functionality will be expanded according to the needs of the departments.
