The integration of full-mission simulators #1 and #2 – as well as the institute’s tugboat simulator modules – offers bridge officers, pilots and students a modern and realistic training experience. MITAGS now has the capabilities of integrating up to ten, full and part task simulators into one simulation exercise. “The NTPRO 5000 images are clearer and brighter, and the contrasts are enhanced due to the increased lumens from the most advanced projectors that are available for our theater dome,” said Friend. “Additionally, the software allows the integration of the two full-mission bridges so that multiple vessels can be included as components of the training and evaluation process. The software includes the multi-functional displays and has improved environmental interaction with the database and ship models.”
The Transas Navigational NTPRO 5000 is a next generation simulation system. It encompasses the geometry of objects, their relative position, the reflection capability of materials, three-dimensional motion and the earth’s curvature. Its integration capabilities, improvements in mathematical models, modern built-in VHF, intercom, voice communications and enhanced instructor station along with CCTV, which allows for synchronized playback for debriefing , is why MITAGS-PMI invested in the complete upgrade of its simulator systems over the past few years.
