Maritime radar training moves to the cloud
New application joins K-Sim suite of naval training software
Kongsberg Digital has launched a cloud-based simulation service for maritime radar training.
The K-Sim Navigation radar application introduces a new line of navigation instruments based on IMO performance standards, leveraging the ‘market-leading K-Sim Navigation functionality and cutting-edge cloud technology’, Kongsberg Digital noted in a 30 November statement.
Used as an advanced e-learning tool, K-Sim Navigation enables instructors to manage and control exercises with realistic radar simulations to students, who can practice anywhere and anytime using their own laptop and an internet connection.
‘The next-generation digital training tools are flexible, adaptable to changing training needs and specifically designed to enhance knowledge, safety and sustainability in the evolving maritime industry,’ said Andreas Jagtøyen, EVP of Kongsberg Digital.
Other elements of K-Sim Navigation include a bridge simulator. This offers a scalable range of bridge designs and can be delivered from a PC-based desktop or as a full mission bridge simulator, according to Shephard Defence Insight. Specially designed simulator configurations are also available, such as aft bridge, tug bridge and fast craft vessel bridge.
Major naval customers include the Royal Australian Navy.
