Interactive MANPADS Simulator


Training operators of man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) is a complex process that demands a high level of accuracy and quick response. The effectiveness of air defense directly depends on the servicemember's ability to operate the system correctly.
That's why SKIFTECH's training systems are designed to realistically simulate combat conditions and train every stage of working with the Igla and Stinger MANPADS.
SKIFTECH’s MANPADS Simulators Advantages
SKIFTECH’s man-portable air-defense simulator is a modern military trainer that helps soldiers improve their air target engagement skills in realistic conditions.
Using the MANPADS training system significantly enhances practice efficiency, reduces costs, and ensures maximum safety.
Why Choose SKIFTECH’s MANPADS Simulator?
Realistic Training Experience
The simulator provides full immersion into combat situations. Servicemen go through all stages of using MANPADS: from target recognition to missile launch simulation.
Safe Training Without Live Missiles
Using real missiles during training poses high risks and expenses. The simulator allows for full mission practice without the use of live ammunition.
Simulation of Real Combat Scenarios
The MANPADS training system simulates various types of aerial threats: drones, aircraft, helicopters – allowing operators to practice tactics against multiple targets.
Cost-Effective and Reusable
Unlike live-fire training, the simulator allows for unlimited training sessions without additional costs.
Performance Analysis and Skill Improvement
The system records every missile launch, analyzes aiming accuracy and hit effectiveness. This enables instructors to assess performance and make necessary adjustments.
Key Stages of MANPADS Operator Training
Familiarization with System Design and Operation
Training helps the military study the structure and functionality of the MANPADS system in detail.
Target Acquisition Procedure Practice
Operators learn how to identify targets and correctly aim the MANPADS at them.
Realistic Missile Launch Simulation
The interactive MANPADS simulator recreates combat conditions, allowing operators to perform all necessary actions for effective target neutralization.
Training Under Combat Stress Conditions
Thanks to integration into broader training scenarios, soldiers can practice in settings closely resembling real combat situations.
Tailored Solutions for Igla and Stinger MANPADS
Each type of man-portable air-defense system has its own characteristics, so SKIFTECH offers separate simulators for the Igla and Stinger.
Igla MANPADS Simulator
designed to model the use of soviet and russian portable air-defense systems.

Stinger MANPADS Simulator
a trainer for preparing operators of American-made MANPADS.
