Reinforcing its position as a reference in technology for the aerospace sector, Akaer has developed the first 100% Brazilian vertically anchored independent Aerotactic Training Platform. The equipment was designed to simulate real air operations conditions, aiming at training military personnel, special forces and rescue teams.
The project recreates the complete structure of a helicopter attached to a metal tower, but which allows for swing movement (unprecedented technology in Brazil), simulating real situations and providing greater efficiency to tactical training, education and the safety of air operators in critical missions.
The platform will be installed at CIOPAER-MT (Mato Grosso Integrated Air Operations Center). Its construction required an intense development cycle, with five months dedicated to the design and seven months to manufacturing, ensuring high standards of quality and precision.
Tech
The platform is equipped with advanced lifting mechanisms, including a linear and rotary gear system (rack) and anti-fall brake, which simulate conditions of operations carried out in flight.
The equipment recreates, on a real scale, the cabin of an AS350 helicopter (Eurocopter), allowing training in specific techniques. Among these, the most important are the transportation of cargo and people, including the Bambi-bucket, a flexible bucket suspended by a cable used in fighting forest fires; the basket, designed for the safe transportation of materials and the rescue of people; and the McGuire, a single rope used for evacuation and aerial rescue.
In addition, it enables training for boarding and disembarking operators with techniques such as Rappelling, which allows for quick disembarking using a rope; Mata-leão, where the operator attaches himself externally to the aircraft using his arms for ; and Preguiça, in which the operator holds on to the aircraft with his arms and legs, ensuring stability during the operation.
As it is a fixed structure or adapted for simulation, it allows operators to train safely before performing these maneuvers in real aircraft, which is essential to reduce risks during operations and ensure that teams are prepared to act with precision.
The entire platform project and integration were developed by Akaer, ensuring a superior quality standard and aligned with technical and safety requirements.
With the delivery of this model, Akaer once again demonstrates its capacity for innovation and cutting-edge engineering applied to the real needs of operational forces. The project reinforces the company's commitment to safety and advanced training for professionals in the sector.
