For testing the interface, training operators, or practicing scenarios without connecting a real drone, a UAV simulator is used. It is a fully functional virtual object in the system that simulates the behavior of a real aircraft: movement, telemetry, altitude and speed changes.

Creating a Simulator

The simulator is created directly from the map. To do this:

  1. Move the cursor to the desired point on the map.
  2. Click the left mouse button.
  3. In the context menu, select Create Simulator.

After executing the command, the system creates a virtual UAV that automatically:

  • binds to the active crew;
  • receives initial coordinates at the click point;
  • begins transmitting simulated telemetry.

After 1–3 minutes (service initialization and data synchronization time), a green icon of the selected simulator type appears on the map — this is the activated simulated UAV.

Along with the drone, the following is displayed:

  • green line — flight direction;
  • telemetry window with speed (S, km/h);
  • flight altitude (A, m).

The simulator allows:

  • testing control modes;
  • verifying target tracking algorithms;
  • practicing interaction between multiple UAVs;
  • training new operators without risk to real equipment.
