The platform itself has been adapted to help Ukraine gain more drone experience through simulation. A Ukrainian developer, Sim Tech Solutions, released an FPS game,. According to the Steam entry page for UFDS, its primary goal is to be"a public version of a leading ultra-realistic FPV drone trainer, built on lessons from the Ukrainian frontline."
