TSAMTO, January 12. PJSC "UAC" of Rostec State Corporation is creating a VR simulator for training technical personnel. The equipment will increase the efficiency of servicing the Su-57 and Su-35 air complexes.
Tests of the system are scheduled to be completed in 2022.
The VR simulator consists of a virtual reality helmet, hand controllers and a computer with a training program that recreates the aviation complex in detail. Thanks to this, ground personnel can virtually study and work out all technological processes and improve the efficiency of maintenance of a real machine.
"Rostec pays great attention to improving the after-sales service of aircraft. The new VR simulator will allow aircraft technicians to gain advanced practical skills. The development will significantly improve the quality of service of combat vehicles. First of all, the complex is designed to work out the maintenance processes of the fifth-generation Su–57 and generation 4++ - Su-35 aircraft. The tests of the complex are planned to be completed in 2022," said Vladimir Artyakov, First Deputy General Director of Rostec State Corporation.
The VR simulator can be supplied either separately or bundled with new aircraft. The complex is being developed by specialists of the Sukhoi company.
"The implementation of the system will provide significant advantages in terms of reducing financial and time costs for performing maintenance, restoration and repair of aircraft equipment," said Mikhail Strelets, First Deputy Managing Director – Director of the Sukhoi Design Bureau.
