Australian firm Operator XR is advancing counter-unmanned aerial systems training with Interceptor, a virtual reality (VR) system designed to simulate realistic scenarios.
The platform includes multiple threat profiles, such as armed first-person view drones, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms, and swarm formations.
Operators can conduct full detect, identify, track, and defeat training, with options for kinetic and non-kinetic engagements alongside integrated electronic warfare effects.
Interceptor also supports unlimited training repetitions at a fraction of live-fire costs, enabling repeatable, measurable scenarios that help accelerate operator performance.
The system can operate fully offline without internet connectivity, making it suitable for classified operations and austere, forward-deployed environments.
It can be unpacked and made operational within minutes, allowing individuals or teams to begin training quickly without lengthy setup.
Preparing for Modern Warfare
Modern conflict requires operators to apply proven tactics under pressure, while rapidly evolving battlefields challenge traditional training systems.
Interceptor is designed to address this challenge by allowing trainees to build muscle memory through repetition and strengthen team cohesion for mission success.
“Interceptor represents our commitment to solving the urgent challenges faced globally today,” said Wayne Jones, chief executive officer of Operator XR.
The system debuted at the International Training and Education Conference (ITEC) in London.
