A new suite of navigation simulators for the Royal Navy will be rolled out this year as part of Project Selborne’s modernization of Royal Navy training.
The Kongsberg Digital simulation technology will ensure that Royal Navy personnel can maximize operational effectiveness in all types of situations, from single unit pilotage through to Replenishment at Sea and Task Group maneuvers, day and night, and in all weather conditions. The simulators will enable teams to train together with multiple vessels in the same scenarios, reducing associated risks, logistics, and costs of seagoing training programs. In the future, the new simulators will be able to integrate across different training establishments, allowing Bridge Teams at Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC), HMS Collingwood, and HMNB Faslane to operate together.
