In the rapidly evolving landscape of military training, the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies has become pivotal. These immersive solutions enable soldiers to develop essential skills within a controlled, risk-free environment, thereby enhancing overall combat readiness. PSS by Logics7 UA, a Ukrainian technology company and recent Diia City resident, has been at the forefront of this transformation. Collaborating closely with the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), PSS by Logics7 UA develops multimedia systems that align with NATO standards, significantly advancing military training methodologies.
Origins and Evolution of PSS by Logics7 UA
The journey of PSS by Logics7 UA into simulation systems began in 2019, following the merger of Logics7, a gaming product development firm co-founded by Dmytro Suponyev and Igor Belov (now Director of PSS by Logics7 UA), and UA.RPA, a company specializing in military developments. This strategic alliance led to the creation of several products for the AFU.
The onset of the full-scale conflict prompted PSS by Logics7 UA to focus intensively on developing training systems for the AFU, a venture previously unexplored by the company. By assembling professional instructors and providing comprehensive consultations to soldiers, PSS by Logics7 UA swiftly adapted its interactive simulators to accommodate advanced weaponry such as the Stinger, Javelin, and NLAW. This rapid adaptation was crucial, given the influx of smart weaponry from Western partners.
Impact and Reach
Since April 2022, PSS by Logics7 UA systems have trained approximately 70,000 military personnel. However, the demand remains substantial, with an estimated three million soldiers requiring training. The company's simulators cater to various military branches, including infantry, artillery, and tank operators.
Innovative Training Solutions
PSS by Logics7 UA offers a range of simulation systems:
-Tank Simulators: These function similarly to large aviation simulators but are tailored for tank crews, providing realistic training scenarios.
-Shooting Simulation Systems: Utilizing projection screens and life-sized weapon models, these systems allow soldiers to master techniques and practice shooting in a controlled environment.
-VR Integration: For weapons like the Stinger, which require a 360-degree operational view, PSS by Logics7 UA employs VR glasses to deliver an immersive training experience.
Technological Framework
The development team, comprising over 30 professionals, leverages technologies such as C# and C++. Drawing talent from Logics7, the team includes software developers and hardware specialists. The use of gaming engines like Unity and Unreal forms the foundation for creating military interactive simulators, bridging the gap between gaming and military training applications.
Collaboration with the Armed Forces
PSS by Logics7 UA maintains robust communication with various military entities, including the General Staff, Territorial Defense, and the National Guard. A close partnership with the Special Operations Forces ensures continuous feedback, facilitating the refinement of training systems. Training sessions are coordinated with commanders, and a dedicated training center supports these activities.
Cost Efficiency
The implementation of PSS by Logics7 UA systems has led to significant cost savings in basic military training. For instance, the cost of a single NLAW missile launch is approximately $27,000. By utilizing simulation systems, the military can conduct extensive training without the financial burden associated with live ammunition exercises.
Conclusion
PSS by Logics7 UA integration of AR and VR technologies into military training represents a significant advancement in preparing soldiers for modern combat. By providing realistic, immersive training environments, these systems enhance skill acquisition, ensure safety, and offer substantial cost savings. As warfare continues to evolve, the adoption of such innovative training solutions will be crucial in maintaining effective and efficient military forces.
