The Navigational Simulator Navi-Trainer Professional 4000, which will be used by the German Navy to train officer cadets, senior officers, naval ships crews in Bridge Team Management and even civilian German Pilots, will consist of one 250infinity Cylindrical Visualisation System for the Full Mission Main Bridge, based on a motion platform, six own ship cubicles with Radar, ECDIS, AIS and a 120infinity Visualisation system.

One blind bridge, acting as an additional Radar Operator station to simulate a navy CIC room will also be equipped.

All bridges will be linked with Transas GMDSS Simulator TGS 4100 to allow realistic external and internal communication.

Five Instructor stations will provide a very flexible training configuration to adopt the complex requirements of simultaneous training for various groups and to act jointly or separately from other Own ships in the same or a different training scenario.

The Simulator will include Transas' new TEAS (Transas Evaluation and Assessment System) as an integrated module to provide objective training result assessment and will also be fitted with the latest version of the comprehensive Model Wizard and Ship Motion Editor to allow the Academy producing and editing new exercise areas and shipmodels, to meet the naval mission fleet demands.

Specific functionalities for Naval Officers tasks are included in the contract, like Underway Replenishment, Flag signals and fleet manoeuvring.

Since Navigation equipment onboard Navy ships and inside the Simulator will be the same type, a data exchange is feasible to prepare new mission planning data from the Simulator to the ships and to do advanced analysis of real recorded data from the Ships to the Simulator in a realistic Playback.

A comprehensive Training Plan has been established to support a seamless change from the outdated to the new system, allowing the MSM crew to start first new training courses by May 2006.

At the same time, Transas Europe received an upgrade order for the 2003 installed Naval Academy classroom CBT Trainer (12 Trainee stations).
