Simulation training in the Navy. (Navy)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Remember the collisions that the USS John McCain and the USS Fitzgerald were involved with? Back in 2017, these ships were involved with two different collisions with civilian ships. Many of us, with relevant experiences, wondered how something like this could happen.<\/p>\n

Basic procedures that we were used to, if followed, should’ve averted both instances. Since then, an investigation has led to the development of many recommendations. Fingers pointed to the need for more training, especially with communications.<\/p>\n

One of the ideas that was floated around involved bringing simulation capability, Star Trek style, on board ship. Different training scenarios, tailored to the different ratings that need the training, would be available.<\/p>\n

“We need a Holodeck for our ships,” he said. “[You can] get a Conex box, you can load it off the pier onto the ship … and in that Holodeck box, you can go in as an engine man, as an STG [sonar technician], you name it, and swipe your ID card” to get in, he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Navy utilizes simulation with regards to aviation and littoral ship operations. The hope is to spread this type of training to to the rest of the fleet.<\/p>\n

Moran noted that the littoral combat ship already employs a powerful simulator, but that capability must be pushed out to the rest of the fleet. “You should have that for every ship class in the Navy, or at least be able to reconfigure a simulator to mirror or mimic the ship that you’re going to” deploy sailors on, he said.<\/p>\n

The initiative will require the Navy to set up new facilities at its bases in San Diego and Norfolk, Virginia, to house simulators, Moran said.<\/p>\n

These systems “will make the biggest difference over time in terms of proficiency [and] experience” for sailors, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The current generation, dominating the numbers in the military, have extensive video game experience. This concept is a logical option. Even the Army has simulated training for basic soldiering operations.<\/p>\n

Now they have virtual reality equipment that you could put on. This includes “dummy” weapons that the Soldier carries, and is incorporated\u00a0 into the scenario. You’re “inside” a “video game” simulating a deployed environment.<\/p>\n
