What do SDT’s training simulators offer?
Quick answer: SDT’s training simulator family consists of three main products: a small arms firing training simulator for first familiarization with a weapon and for marksmanship practice; an interactive infantry tactical training simulator with more than 100 preloaded scenarios for squad-level scenario training; and an air defense missile training simulator for effectiveness assessment in air defense units. The products are intended to cut the cost and the risk of training carried out by military and police units with rifles, pistols, machine guns and sniper rifles.
What does the small arms simulator offer?
According to the official product page, the small arms firing training simulator is a portable, modular simulation system on which users can take first-familiarization or marksmanship refresher training, on which a single user or several users can work separately at the same time, and which keeps performance and progress records. The company says it offers configurations for needs ranging from basic training to joint and special operations training, and suited to both classroom and field use. The system was presented to Turkish and foreign guests at the FIEP international gendarmerie forces event, which the company attended together with TAMGÖR.
What sets the infantry tactical simulator apart?
The interactive infantry tactical training simulator goes beyond individual marksmanship. According to the official page, personnel can train alone or as a squad, with different weapon types, in a combat environment digitized with real parameters; the firing and shooter detection systems are contained within the simulator. The system holds more than 100 predefined scenarios and new scenarios can be added. That structure brings tactical development, refresher training and mission rehearsal together on a single infrastructure. In the official catalog the product is listed under naval combat training systems; the company states that the same solution is offered for joint use by military and police units.
| Simulator | Target users | Notable feature |
|---|---|---|
| Small Arms Firing Training Simulator | Military and police, basic and refresher training | Portable modular structure, performance records |
| Interactive Infantry Tactical Training Simulator | Team and squad-level tactical training | More than 100 ready scenarios, scenario authoring |
| Air Defense Missile Training Simulator | Air defense units | Effectiveness assessment against simulated attacks |
| ACMI Pod (air combat training) | Combat pilots | LVC training infrastructure in live flight |
How does the air defense simulator work?
The air defense missile training simulator carries simulation scenarios developed to measure the effectiveness of air defense systems against simulated attacks by different types of air threats, and to train personnel. The approach makes gunner and crew training possible without a live missile firing. Range, scenario count and hardware details have not been officially disclosed. The same philosophy can be traced on the weapon electronics side: the missile fire control unit offers training with no external device alongside its tactical mode, through a built-in simulation mode.
Where does the simulator family sit in company strategy?
Training and simulation form the core of one of SDT’s four solution groups; the airborne member of the family, the ACMI pod, covers pilot training, while the ground-based members cover marksmanship and tactical training. The May 2026 note by brokerage A1 Capital counts training and simulation products among the company’s strategic product families and treats them as one of the elements that keep the revenue base from depending on a single product. The test simulators on the electronic warfare side, the SIGINT threat simulator and the infrared guided missile simulator, sit apart from this family and are positioned as electronic warfare test infrastructure. Sales volumes and the customer list have not been officially disclosed.
