Simulator for training operators of the ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun

About the simulator

The multimedia complex for training the crew of the ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun is designed for the education and training of ZU-23-2 crew members: the gunner, aimer, and gun commander, according to the standards and curricula of professional training and the program of individual and collective training of mobile fire groups engaged in performing air defense tasks.
Software
The computer equipment of the simulator is installed with specialized software for simulating combat situations, titled "Training Program for the Crew of the ZU-23-2 Anti-Aircraft Gun."
The software is a set of specialized programs and electronic libraries designed for modeling and simulation of:
  • Operating Principles of the ZU-23-2 Control Interfaces Utilized by the Crew
  • Integrated Simulation of Training and Combat Environments Closely Approximating Real Conditions
  • Preparation and Monitoring of Training Mission Execution
  • Determination of Target Direction by Azimuth Using the Specialized Kropyva Software
The Simulator Software and Hardware as a Whole Enable the Execution of the Following Tasks:
  • Effective Training of ZU-23-2 Crews in Accordance with Their Functional Duties
  • Simulation of the Operational Workflow of the ZU-23-2 Crew with Capability to Reproduce Practical Actions
  • Reproduction of Terrain and Background Environment (Gunfire, Explosions, etc.) Within a Unified Information Environment, Including Dynamic Changes During Task Execution
  • Simulation of Crew Actions During Execution of Functional Duties, Including Target Detection, Targeting, Firing Operations, and Related Combat Procedures
  • Modeling (Visualization) of ZU-23-2 Firing Operations According to Assigned Targets, Including Target Acquisition, Projectile Flight, and Fire Impact Results on the Target
  • Integration with Higher-Level Training and Simulation Systems with Capability to Exchange Data on Status, Position, and Mission Execution, Enabling Multiple Homogeneous and/or Heterogeneous Simulator Systems to Operate Within a Unified Information Environment
  • Instructor Capability to Configure Scenario Environment, Mission Variants, Weather Conditions, Time of Day, Meteorological Firing Conditions, Enemy Influence, and Other Factors Affecting Mission Execution; Includes Dynamic Scenario Evolution, Behavior Modeling of Adjacent Units and Enemy Forces (Ground, Air, Maritime), Civilian Presence, Real-Time Monitoring from the Instructor Station, Dynamic Adjustment of Conditions During Execution, and the Ability to Pause or Terminate the Exercise at Any Time
  • Recording and Documentation of Mission Execution Processes and Results
