Naval Wargame Simulation System from Meteksan

Meteksan is a leading Turkish defense company, known particularly with its simulation solutions for the naval sector.  Besides various solutions in simulation area, the company is a recognized supplier of sensor, communication and underwater acoustic systems.

Having live saving and cost control in mind, Meteksan’s Simulation System Group (SSG) has developed two state-of-the-art naval simulation products, namely Damage Control Simulator (DCSIM) and Naval War Game Simulation System (NAWAS) having good reputation in international market.   Both systems are in use in the Turkish Naval Forces Command at Golcuk, as part of the Surface Training Centre of the fleet.  Meteksan has already signed a contract for a similar system with the Royal Navy of Oman.

Damage control is an essential capability to preserve the integrity, stability and maneuverability of vessels, by keeping the ship afloat, moving and fulfilling her mission. Damage, therefore, must be quickly confined and repaired. To facilitate this, the DCSIM environment enables the crew to develop and conduct realistic damage control exercises, while also simulating casualties as realistically as possible. It has been shown that consistent and realistic training produces an optimal level of readiness that enables repair teams to react more efficiently and effectively. 

While DCSIM can help save ships and lives, Meteksan’s NAWAS  is an interactive, realistic, multi-user, multi-resolution contractive simulation system that models naval war games at sea, land and air warfare environment.  Main goals are to establish realistic and cost–effective training, as well as to provide an environment for assessing plans, and to increase the mission effectiveness/readiness of personnel.

NAWAS has a generic infrastructure so that users can add new types of platforms, sensors or weapons to the system while executing the war game. It is also possible to update the parameters of the existing platforms, sensors or weapons so that new maps, environmental conditions or inventory data can be added using the tools provided by the system. 

NAWAS supports all types of naval conflict, including surface warfare, submarine and anti-submarine warfare, air support for maritime operations, anti-air warfare, mine warfare, electronic warfare, logistics operations, amphibious operations and CBRN warfare. It is interoperable with other simulation systems using a high-level architecture (HLA) interface and the system can be accessed remotely.
