Future military officers are learning to produce munitions and parts for drones using 3D printers. According to the Ministry of Defense, cadets at the Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Army Academy are creating models of munitions without explosives, which are deployed by drones during training exercises. Additionally, they are producing various components and adapters for UAVs, including mounts, holders, and connectors.
This innovative approach allows them to practice engineering reconnaissance, neutralization of discovered munitions, and remote mining, significantly enhancing their understanding of sapper operations.
3D printers facilitate the rapid production of necessary parts and training models, making the preparation process more visual and effective.
The Ministry believes this will aid in developing the ability to create innovative technical solutions for modern combat.
Moreover, a new professional course titled "Basics of Combat Planning" has been launched in the "Army+" app for commanders and military personnel, covering an 8-step process from planning to mission execution.
Operators of ground drones are also being trained in private schools, with seven UAV operator schools already certified by the Ministry of Defense. The state plans to fund the training of thousands of military personnel by the end of the year.
