The Armed Forces and Turkish Agency Baykar Technologies signed an annex to the contract for the acquisition of 2 simulators for Bayraktar TB2 drone operators. Deputy Minister of National Defence Paweł Bejda announced that 1 of the simulators would go to 41 School Aviation Base in Dęblin. By the end of the year, Polish operators will be able to practice on 4 simulators in total.
“We intensify the process of training drone operators at the Aviation Military Academy,” wrote Deputy Minister Paweł Bejda on Friday. He thus commented that the Armed Forces Agency had signed an annex to an agreement concluded with Turkish company Baykar in 2021. The annex concerns the acquisition of 2 simulators for operators of combat unmanned flying cameras Bayraktar TB2. Their maker has undertaken to supply the equipment by the end of this year.
Deputy Minister Bejda reported that 1 of the simulators would be transferred to the 41st School Aviation Base in Dęblin. erstwhile integrated into the existing system, it will service to train fresh operators and to improve the skills of already trained staff. This investment will importantly reduce the training costs of TB2 operators.
Simulator work allows for realistic mapping of operating conditions with UAV, and the operator itself can train different scenarios related to aircraft flight and landing, conducting reconnaissance or combat operations in a diverse operational environment. Very frequently it would be hard or impossible to practice them in real conditions, specified as GPS interference, strategy failure or an intense enemy fire.
In addition, the usage of UAV in simulation is much safer and cheaper than losing a device during a real operation or even real training utilizing a real unmanned. The cost of repairing or purchasing a fresh device is amounts up to millions of PLN, which in the case of simulation are fundamentally limited to the question of the operation of specified a device and the value of the electrical current they use.
Bayraktar TB2 is capable of carrying out missions in an autonomous or semi-autonomy mode, with the anticipation of taking off and landing without the participation of the operator. Thanks to its advanced autonomy and combat capability, this strategy is widely utilized in modern armed conflicts. The decision to acquisition simulators is part of a broader strategy to make the capabilities of unmanned Polish armed forces. It stresses the increasing importance of UAV technology in modern military activities.
