Overview of ELI Military Simulations
ELI Military Simulations, officially operating as ELI OÜ, is an Estonian-based defense and technology company specializing in the development and production of specialized military training equipment and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launch systems. The company focuses on providing high-fidelity solutions for defense forces, security organizations, and UAV operators, emphasizing realistic field training and reliable operational hardware.

A core component of the company's product line is their series of pneumatic catapults designed for the efficient launching of unmanned aircraft. These systems are engineered to accelerate various UAV platforms, catering to different weight classes and speed requirements.
Pneumatic Catapult Series:
* PL-40: Developed for UAVs and other aircraft with a Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) of up to 30 kg, capable of launch speeds up to 25 m/s.
* PL-60: Designed for aircraft with an MTOW up to 60 kg, supporting launch speeds up to 25 m/s.
* PL-80: Engineered for UAVs with an MTOW up to 100 kg, also featuring launch speeds up to 25 m/s.
* PL-120: The high-capacity model in the series, designed to accelerate aircraft with an MTOW up to 120 kg at speeds reaching 35 m/s.
Parachute Release Systems
To address the challenges of operating UAVs in diverse weather conditions, ELI offers specialized parachute release systems. These products are designed to prevent damage to air vehicles upon landing by ensuring the parachute canopy does not remain inflated or drag the aircraft in harsh conditions. The current offerings include the PAR-50 and PAR-100 models, both providing reliable solutions for post-landing canopy management.
Military Training and Simulation Equipment
Beyond aerial support, ELI provides a range of equipment designed to simulate combat scenarios for ground forces, aiming to increase the realism and effectiveness of field training exercises.
Targeting Systems:
* HARDY (Pop-up target set): A radio-controlled, mobile target system intended for outdoor small firearms shooting ranges. It is designed for lightweight portability and ease of installation.
* HARDY-M (Infantry moving target set): A radio-controlled, battery-driven system for live-fire training against moving targets. It utilizes four lightweight target trolleys that operate independently and simultaneously.
Simulation Hardware:
* M-GOLF Mortar Simulator: This system allows mortar teams to practice sighting, aiming, and firing in conditions that closely mirror real-world scenarios. It supports 60mm, 81mm, 82mm, and 120mm caliber simulations, with physical dimensions and operation identical to actual mortar equipment.
* Recoil Simulation Equipment: The company produces a "tubeless" recoil system designed for automatic and semi-automatic handguns. This equipment is intended to provide the user with a realistic sense of live firing, suitable for training environments where using live ammunition may not be feasible or desired.
Operational Philosophy and Support
ELI Military Simulations provides its products to a global client base, including defense, security, and UAV-specific organizations. The company emphasizes a consultative approach to its services, noting that many of its products can be customized—such as launcher carriages or recoil kits for specific weapon models—to meet unique customer requirements. The entity manages international logistics directly and encourages potential clients to provide specific mission parameters, such as UAV weight or range configuration, to ensure the appropriate hardware recommendation.
