According to officials, the system trains missile crews without the need for live launches. As a result, it reduces costs and limits operational risks. Moreover, the simulator allows personnel to practice launch sequences, targeting, and coordination in controlled conditions.
In addition, commanders said the platform improves accuracy and reaction time. It also helps standardise procedures across different units. Therefore, crews can maintain readiness even during periods of limited field exercises.
Officials explained that Iranian engineers designed the system using domestic technology. Consequently, the project aligns with Iran’s emphasis on defence self-reliance. The system also supports multiple trainees at once and adapts to varied mission scenarios.
Furthermore, military analysts noted that simulation-based training has become essential for modern forces. Such systems increase efficiency and improve decision-making under pressure. For this reason, the IRGC views the test as a practical achievement.
The Ground Force said it plans to expand the system to other missile units. Ultimately, officials believe the technology will strengthen operational preparedness and enhance missile force effectiveness through continuous training.
