Specialists at the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant "Kupol" (part of the Almaz-Antey Aerospace Defence Concern) have developed the universal target-training system (UMTK) "Adyutant." The system has been adopted by the Russian Armed Forces, said the general director of the defense enterprise, Fanil Ziyatdinov.
So far, its main customers are developers of air defense systems (AD) — they need training targets.
The system is considered an advanced solution for training air defense crews.
Features of the UMTK "Adyutant":
- reusable targets
- simulation of cruise missiles, aircraft, helicopters, and drones
- open architecture
- launches up to 6 targets into the sky simultaneously
- control of the targets from a single command post
- creation of a complex air situation, including simulation of a massive strike
According to Ziyatdinov, the plant's employees have gained important competencies in the field of unmanned technologies. Work is underway to create a target with subsonic speed. In addition, this technological groundwork is planned to be used in promising projects, including for various sectors of the economy.
