Naval Ship Engine Training
The integrated training system is scalable from a PC based class room trainer up to a hands-on full mission simulator.
Close cooperation with original equipment manufacturers of naval propulsion and automation systems made it even possible to connect original automation systems to the simulation. This type of sophisticated technical simulation represents the current cutting edge in professional, simulation-based training technology for shipboard technical systems.
Ship Engineering – Operations Training
Rheinmetall’s ship Engineering simulation replicates the ship's propulsion and its electrical systems, including supply and support systems and the overall platform management or automation system. The flexible, modular system is based on high-precision thermodynamic mathematical models and can be adapted to any specific individual or team-based training requirements. The integrated training system is scalable from a PC-based classroom trainer to a realistic full mission simulator.
The training system enables trainees to operate the simulated systems even in extreme conditions without risking damage to the on-board hardware. Furthermore, emergency operating procedures can be trained without risk.
Surface Ship Damage Control Training
Damage control is a basic prerequisite for safe travels at sea, actions in the theatre of operations, and the operational use of sensors and effectors. Weaknesses in leadership and communication skills are a known cause of often serious consequences or failure in the internal battle.
For training in the area of damage control, which is particularly critical for people and equipment, Rheinmetall offers virtual simulators to develop action and decision-making skills.
Fire models, smoke propagation and water ingress, virtual ship representation, inspection and interaction, military plotting tools and communication systems are the core elements of this unique training solution. In addition, the integration of a ship engineering simulation allows technical areas of expertise to be fully incorporated. In particular, the mapping of the necessary information and communication processes is a core element of the technological solution.
Surface Ship – Combat System Training
The effective use of modern combat systems requires well-trained specialists. Modern simulators enable realistic training for sensor and weapon systems as well as complementary command and communication systems.
Since modern naval platforms are equipped with either a networked operations centre or independent sensor and weapon systems, Rheinmetall offers scalable and modular simulation solutions based on a flexible multifunction console concept that can replicate a wide variety of system designs. In addition, it is possible to simulate original on-board systems for testing and training purposes.
