Junior officers in the Royal Australian Navy will learn to pilot the next generation of warships, in an upgraded $10m training facility at HMAS Watson, Sydney, which will be officially opened tomorrow.
The new high-tech simulator uses computerised virtual reality software to simulate a working warship's bridge, complete with a 240-degree view of a computer generated 2D scene through the bridge windows.
The bridge training faculty, one of the most advanced simulators in the world, will be opened by the Commander Australian Fleet Rear Admiral Steve Gilmore, AM, CSC, RAN.
“This facility is at the cutting edge of simulator technology and provides junior Seaman Officers with very realistic training so they will be capable of carrying out the duties of the Officer-of-the Watch before heading out to sea,”RADM Gilmore said.
