Since the beginning of the fighting, the special air forces have been operating under fire deep in the Gaza Strip. Before entering enemy territory, they practice combat maneuvers in a special simulator, learn the route of the terrain and understand how they must act in real time

 

A force of special forces fighters is a few hundred meters away from the structure deep in the strip, which it is going to raid in a few moments. The force advances towards the building, but is suddenly confronted by a squad of terrorists who fire at them from another building located in the complex urban area of Gaza.

At first, they try to manipulate the situation, but very quickly they realize that they must use air support against the terrorist cell. This scenario is one of many that occur every day in the Strip, but this is not the first time the fighters have faced it - they practiced this type of scenario before, in the simulator.

The 9900 mapping unit provides precise virtual infrastructures on which the exercises in the simulator are built. During the exercise, 7th Wing (Special Air Forces) fighters train on decision-making, face dilemmas they will encounter in the field and deepen their knowledge of the enemy down to the smallest resolutions in the room they are planned to raid.

In the simulator of the special air forces, you can practice scenarios on a real terrain infrastructure. "In our ability to simulate the exact situation of the fighter from the moment he lands until he arrives at the axis and the building at the end of the mission," says Major General (ret.) Hila, a simulator instructor in the Sheldag unit. "This way we can examine how the fighters deal with real scenarios and how they will function under pressure."

"With the outbreak of the war, we received new and extremely advanced Augmented Reality (AR) glasses. Using them, the senior commanders planned the method and manner of carrying out the many activities that were carried out and were still carried out in combat," she continues. In the moments before the raid in question on the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, the force practiced in the simulated area of the hospital operational cases and possible reactions that it might encounter at the moment of the raid.

 

 

In routine and combat, the special forces fighters practice activity in all arenas. "As soon as a new target arrives from the Air Force's target bank, the teams plan the operation according to flat maps," says Major (res.) C, a fighter in the Sheldag unit. "The advantage that the simulator brings is that you can use it to simulate the possible scenarios On top of the surface cells on which they are going to occur.'

This fact allows the fighters to change the combat plans and axes according to the challenges in the field, and provides certainty for combat. "There are micro-tactics and attention to detail that would not be possible without the simulator, the capabilities of artificial intelligence and the precise intelligence it contains," says Major (res.) G. "With its help, we approach the mission more prepared than ever - and it is an integral part of the road to victory at war".
