The Delhi-based startup will provide indigenous part-task combat training simulators specifically designed for the Mirage 2000 fleet.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>A part-task simulator focuses on a specific part of a pilot\u2019s job. Instead of recreating an entire flight from take-off to landing, it allows pilots to practise tasks such as using the radar, identifying a target, selecting a weapon or responding to a threat. <!-- -->A pilot can work through a difficult sequence, review mistakes and try again without using an actual fighter or consuming flying hours. The deal will therefore help pilots practise demanding combat procedures on the ground.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>This simulator is also designed to support real-time networking, enabling multi-crew exercises in scenarios challenging or too costly to reproduce in the air.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The Mirage 2000 fleet has been part of the IAF for four decades. As a precision-strike fighter jet, the Mirage 2000 played key roles in the 1999 Kargil conflict and the 2019 Balakot air strike. The French fighter fleet has also undergone a major upgrade, executed by maker Dassault Aviation, Thales and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The Department of Defence Production lists the Mirage 2000 part-task trainer among the DISC-5 challenges assigned to the IAF. The requirement was for a system that could support basic flying and simulation of the upgraded aircraft&#8217;s existing modes and functions. The procurement shows the service intends to use it for structured training rather than rely only on live sorties for selected procedures and mission rehearsal.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/defence\/news\/iaf-signs-rs-135cr-contract-with-indian-startup-for-mirage-simulators-to-train-its-fighter-pilots\/articleshow\/134626922.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a precision-strike fighter jet, the Mirage 2000 played key roles in the 1999 Kargil conflict and the 2019 Balakot air strike.
