Feasibility cum RFI response for DRDO’s TDF projects
Simulator for training and testing SAGW crew
Project Description
Effective operation of Surface-to-Air Guided Weapon (SAGW) systems requires highly skilled personnel capable of making quick, accurate decisions under high-pressure, combat-like conditions.
Traditional training methods often involve live equipment, which can be resource-intensive and prone to wear and tear. Additionally, such methods may expose trainees to risks and limitations in training environments.
A dedicated simulator presents a more cost-effective, sustainable alternative, providing a controlled environment for realistic, hands-on training without the need for expensive equipment usage or maintenance. This approach allows for skill development, performance evaluation, and scenario-based training, ensuring personnel are prepared for real-world operations.
Functional and Operational Requirements
Regular training for Surface-to-Air Guided Weapon (SAGW) and Ground-Based Air Defence Weapon Systems (GBADWS) is costly and limited by safety norms. To address this, system-specific simulators are required. These simulators, which can be integrated, provide a cost-effective solution for training and testing while overcoming the limitations of live training scenarios.
- The combat cabin should replicate the exact look and feel of the current SAGW system for the operator.
- The system should generate synthetic targets that can be maneuvered in real-time and customized by user-defined settings.
- The simulator should allow for target engagement in accordance with the philosophy of individual systems, and provide simulation of contingencies, assessing the correctness of crew actions.
- The simulators of each SAGW system should be capable of integration into a central control cabin, which would feature a large-scale display and enable simultaneous monitoring and control of various simulator crews.
Testing and Certification Requirements
The Simulator for Training and Testing Surface-to-Air Guided Weapon Crew must undergo performance, accuracy, and environmental testing (temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference). It must meet standards for user interface, real-time simulation, and safety.
Certification is required from defence bodies like ADB, DGQA, and BIS.
