Forward Air Controller Training Simulator

About the simulator
  • The multimedia panoramic visualization technology combined with the “Kropiva” software suite enables the creation of realistic training systems for aviation support correction tools. This simulator is no exception and is designed for the education, training, and assessment of the proficiency level of forward aviation observers, training in directing aircraft to ground targets, and adjusting aviation strikes on ground targets.
  • Simulator Package Includes:
  • The instructor's (training supervisor's) workstation is equipped with a PC and two monitors; from this workstation, the training process is managed.
  • The workstation of the forward aviation spotter (FAS) is equipped with life-sized mock-ups of binoculars and a rangefinder, as well as a tablet PC with a training version of the "Kropyva" software suite installed.
  • The pilot's workstation is equipped with standard flight control simulators and a specialized projection screen.
  • Instructor Workstation
Designed to coordinate the actions of the aircraft pilot and the aviation spotter, serving as the operation commander. During the mission, the instructor has the ability to observe the actions of the aviation spotter and the support pilot and can maintain voice communication with them using a microphone and speakers
For Training Exercises Conducted on the System, AI-Controlled Aircraft Assets May Also Be Integrated.
  • During Forward Air Controller (FAC) Training Exercises:
  • Observes the Generated Audio-Visual Environment Through the Visualization System
  • Uses a Game Controller to Move Across Terrain in a 3D Environment and Change Observation Direction Within the Visualization System
  • Can Utilize FAC Equipment Simulators for Terrain Observation and Execution of Reference Measurements
  • Uses a Radio Station Simulator for Communication with the Close Air Support Pilot and the Instructor/Training Supervisor
  • Uses the FAC Tablet to Operate an Electronic Terrain Map for Navigation and to Transmit Digital Target Designation Data to the Pilot and Instructor
  • During Training Exercises, the Pilot:
  • Observes the Generated Audio-Visual Environment via the Display Monitor and Audio Headset
  • Controls the Aircraft Asset Using the Joystick and Pedals
  • Uses the Microphone and Headset to Communicate with the Instructor and the Forward Air Controller (FAC)
