Simlat will deliver a Full Crew UAS Simulator (C-STAR) to Louisiana Delta Community College (LDCC) under a purchase order announced on 16 May.
The company will deliver a simulator package including hardware, software and add-on civil UAS application packages such as agriculture, offshore, and utilities inspection. Delivery is expected by the end of the second quarter of 2016.
The simulator will be used to support the college’s agriculture aviation training programmes. LDCC works with Flying Tiger Aviation to offer both fixed wing and rotary wing agriculture aviation training programmes leading to an Ag pilot endorsement. The programme includes FAA certificates, ratings and endorsements.
Simlat’s president said: ‘We are very pleased and proud to support this special programme, and to have our simulators in the able hands of the Flying Tigers Aviation crew. Simulation of civil UAS applications has been a continuous growth factor for Simlat and we are glad that customers appreciate Simlat's high-value and comprehensive proposal in this regard.’
As the dynamics of aerial combat rapidly evolve, Chinese scientists have engineered a sophisticated air separation drone model that can fragment into up to six drones, each capable of executing distinct battlefield roles and challenging the efficacy of current anti-drone defences such as the UK’s Dragonfire laser system.
Advancements in air defence technologies have begun to reshape aerial combat dynamics in the Middle East, as illustrated by recent events involving the Israeli Air Force and Hezbollah.
Both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war have been using UAS for effective low-cost attacks, as well as impactful web and social media footage. Thousands more have now been committed to Ukrainian forces.
The US Army has intentions to develop light, medium and heavy variants of the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) as part of the branche’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle family.
DroneSentry-X, a cross-vehicle compatible, automated 360° C-UAS detect and defeat device, can offer 360° awareness and protection using integrated sensors. According to its manufacturer, it is suitable for mobile operations, on-site surveillance and on-the-move missions.
Funded by the country’s former president, the new C-UAS systems will be sent to the frontline where they have already been tested against Russian invading forces.
