Benefits

Modular

SOKOL™s modular design and robust steel superstructure enable jumpers to train anywhere, as a single jumper or with a group of other trainees or virtual jumpers. It is also possible to integrate new regions or training locations at any time. Additionally, SOKOL™ is capable of cross-location networking and interfacing with third-party simulators.

Realistic

All SOKOL™ simulators feature realistic representations of environments, horizons and descent movements. SOKOL™‘s extensive 3D geo-specific visual databases offer a variety of different terrain options, serving as the basis for all types of exercise and mission planning.

User-centric

Due to the advanced customization capabilities, it is possible not only to train in numerous terrains, different times of day and weather conditions, but also in realistic environments and mission-specific locations, both alone as well as in a group jumping scenario.

Secure

SOKOL™ helps you acquire safe and accurate chute control, for a variety of chute and line related malfunctions. You can also practice evasive manoeuvres and collision avoidance, as well as training under the stressful situation to help build confidence and calm during jumps.
