Senegal selects Thales mission trainers
The Senegalese armed forces will use a Thales helicopter mission trainer solution to train its Mi-35 attack helicopter and Mi-17 transport helicopter crew, Thales announced on 19 April.
The simulator, which reconstructs operational conditions with a high degree of realism using a high definition visual database, will be installed at the Air Force Academy at Thiès, near Dakar.
Thales’ helicopter mission trainer will allow pilots to acquire and develop skills for a range of tactical scenarios, such as combat search and rescue, airland, naval operations and commando insertion/extraction.
The helicopter simulator can be configured to allow individual pilot and commander training as well as training of entire aircrews for collective operations, such as multi-crew and multi-platform coordination and combined arms deployments. All training is analysed at a debriefing station.
