The Pakistani delegation received a comprehensive briefing on SDT's current projects and activities. Of particular interest was the ACMI project, nearing completion and tailored for the Pakistan Air Force.
SDT, entered into a contract with the Pakistan Air Force in Nov. 2022. The contract was formalized during the International Defense Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2022 in Karachi, Pakistan.
Under this agreement, SDT will develop the ACMI Pod simulation system for integration into the Pakistan Air Force's JF-17 aircraft. These advanced systems will enable precise Pilot Tactical Training, enhancing the combat readiness of the Pakistan Air Force.
SDT has been developing ACMI pods since 2014, facilitating live training for Air Force pilots in tactical maneuvers and weapon engagements. This simulation technology is currently utilized by the Turkish Air Force and several other international air forces.
