Inzpired collective naval training
Inzpire’s Synthetic Training Division has headed the delivery of pre-deployment training to HMS Defender, a Type 45 Destroyer of the Royal Navy.
The event was delivered from the Air Battlespace Training Centre (ABTC), RAF Waddington, using a temporary connection between the ABTC and the Royal Navy’s synthetic training centre, the Maritime Composite Training System at HMS Collingwood.
Called Exercise Virtual Fury, the Inzpire and military White Force team delivered team and collective training simultaneously to crews from the Typhoon, Tornado GR-4, E-3D, Royal Navy AEW Sea King forces as well as HMS Defender’s Operations Team.
According to the company, this is the first time this has been accomplished in the UK.
The week long exercise provided exposure to real world complex air, land and maritime challenges that cannot be achieved in the ‘live fly’ environment. HMS Defender’s team were integrated seamlessly into the distributed exercise and were able to work alongside their RAF and FAA colleagues, planning and briefing each mission, then executing and debriefing across a distributed network.
Richard Tattersall, control of the air subject matter expert, Inzpire, said: ‘From contract signature to exercise delivery was just four weeks; the tech teams and the White Force at both training centres worked as a single team to make Virtual Fury happen. I was hugely impressed with what was achieved in such a short timeline: it was a great example of the whole force concept in full flow.’
