The commandos will practice in the virtual world

The release of hostages held in abandoned building, dangerous operation in the heart of a big city or a severe action anywhere in the great desert - such operations soldiers came combat teams Commando Military Unit will be able to train in the virtual world. This will allow them to VIRTSIM system, which is formed in the unit in Lubliniec.



- The system visualizes any battlefield. Just the soldier assumes special goggles and we attach the sensors and at the same time is in the middle of the city or the desert. Air conditioners, heating and ventilation systems will be able to simulate environmental conditions - explains Col. Wieslaw Kukuła, commander of the Commando Military Unit in Lubliniec. - The great advantage of this system is that it will be able to connect through ICT networks with other similar centers that have just formed, among others in the US, and together to train various types of tactical situations - he added.

E-realistic world to conduct e-transactions

A soldier who trained in the system VIRTSIM moves in the virtual world on the basis of somewhat similar to those shown in the famous James Cammerona film "Avatar". Characters from the movie were physically in one place, and their avatars, which steered and felt, at the same time were completely different, remote location. The difference is that in the film people remotely entered into the avatars that are specially grown bodies and the system   VIRTSIM behavior of soldiers reflect their virtual counterparts. Physically they will were in a safe room where they marched, used the weapon, aiming to the enemy so on. In the virtual world will be at that time were for example in the embassy building and conducted the operation the release of the hostages.

-   VIRTSIM works on the principle of cheating the senses exercisers soldiers. If you will be in the virtual world, several kilometers patrol, it actually will move constantly turning, because this "march" must fit in a building with limited dimensions - explains the commander of the commandos.

Exercise room will be filled with information and communication systems and sensors, which reflect reality in its virtual version. Colonel Kukula back to the example of the release of hostages held in the embassy: - First, based on photos very carefully draw the object, then "put" project to the system, and the soldiers 'dry' train operation. As a result, when they come to the embassy in the real world, they will be much easier to find in the building, because they knew it before. In addition, they will be prepared for dozens of scenarios that may occur during their operation.

Commandos emphasize that   VIRTSIM will be able to move the soldier in every appropriate place. You will be able to practice activity in deserts, mountains, dense forest or in the heart of the city. - The soldiers are part of a very real computer game with high quality graphics and great sound. I had the opportunity to test the system and I know that in an unprecedented way deceives our senses and emotions. He is a great trainer for small tactical units such as sections of special operations - describes Col. Kukuła.

Every movement practicing soldier will be recorded so that you can later recreate and correct the mistakes committed by him. The creators of the system predict that at one time will be able to train up to 12 soldiers.

The experience of the mission will move to the virtual world

The commandos draw attention to the fact that the ranks of special forces soon begin to leave the soldiers who took part in missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. And this is one of the most experienced military in our army. Thanks to the system   VIRTSIM will be their experience and knowledge to move into the virtual world and train on the basis of their future operators combat teams. This will help utilize and consolidate the experience gained during the mission.

System   VIRTSIM not become the primary training system specjalsów, but according commandos will complement a range of tools used in their training. - This is another step that will bring us closer to the ideal training. We are committed to better management of time and costs that are not low. But the most important thing is that we have the tools to create any situation that could happen to a soldier in battle - explains Col. Kukuła.

VIRTSIM probably will run for three years. Exercise facility will be the first of its kind, which will be built in Europe. JWK commander stresses that the idea of building the system   It was established several years ago in the now defunct Special Forces Command.

The planned new, practice will complement wideostrzelnicy that from 2013 works in Lubliniec unit. In this way, a comprehensive system operator training, made ​​up of polygons, training centers, but also different types of objects, such as wideostrzelnica or just   VIRTSIM. Commandos make them available to the exercises well as other military units, subdivisions anti-terror police and foreign partners.
