Why Is the Stinger MANPADS Simulator Necessary?

Live trainings with real weapons are both costly and dangerous.
Firing an FIM-92 Stinger missile requires significant resources, and each launch can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Moreover, mistakes during training can endanger both personnel and equipment.

SKIFTECH has developed a realistic Stinger MANPADS simulator that allows air defense operators to practice identifying and engaging:

  • UAVs (drones)

  • Cruise missiles

  • Aircraft

  • Helicopters

Stinger MANPADS Simulator – Pays for Itself After the Second Launch

The FIM-92 Stinger man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS) is widely used in military conflicts to neutralize aerial threats.

Its effective use depends on the operator’s ability to quickly identify targets, aim accurately, and execute launches properly.

The Stinger MANPADS simulator developed by SKIFTECH enables military personnel to master these skills without the risk or high costs associated with live missile launches.

Problems Solved by the Stinger Training System

  • High Cost of Training Launches

    Live training with FIM-92 missiles is prohibitively expensive. The simulator completely removes this barrier, enabling unlimited training without constraints.

  • Risks to Personnel and Equipment

    Errors during live training can result in equipment damage or even casualties. The simulator allows for safe training without such risks.

  • Inadequate Target Recognition Skills

    Even the best-equipped air defense unit is ineffective without the ability to identify and track threats. The simulator provides continuous training in target recognition and engagement tactics.

  • The need to adapt to modern threats

    Today, wars are increasingly fought using drones and cruise missiles. The simulator allows you to adapt to new types of threats and learn how to counter them.

  • Difficulty Assessing Operator Performance

    Modern software tracks all actions performed during a training session, allowing instructors to thoroughly evaluate each trainee’s performance.

FIM-92 Stinger Simulator Replica

Realistic in size, weight, and functionality, it simulates the experience of using the actual weapon.

How Does the Stinger Simulator Work?

  • Target Elimination Mission Is Assigned

    The operator uses the FIM-92 replica as if it were the real weapon.

  • Target Acquisition and Tracking

    The drone flies and mimics the behavior of aerial threats such as missiles, aircraft, or helicopters.

  • Simulated Missile Launch

    AI-powered Stinger replica evaluates the operator’s actions and determines whether the target was successfully "hit."

  • Visual Confirmation of Target Destruction

    If the simulated launch is successful, the drone displays a visual indicator of a hit.

  • Training Outcome Analysis

    The software collects data on accuracy, tracking speed, and decision-making, providing instructors with comprehensive performance reports.

Advantages of the SKIFTECH Stinger Simulator

The Stinger simulator allows for multiple repetitions, automating the MANPADS operator’s routine. Traditional training can only be effective when using physical ammunition. Without ammunition, traditional training limits operator training.
