An acute and efficient crew understanding and knowledge of ship systems and related operating procedures enable proper operation of systems, sub-systems, components, or equipment to assure adequate intended system response in normal conditions or for equipment failure. The ability of a ship’s crew to properly operate the ship systems is a critical measure of readiness. Maintaining Engineering proficiency is largely a function of routine shipboard training. The TPTS provides shipboard personnel an effective means of exercising control skills as these skills are perishable if not continuously practiced. As crew size is reduced and automation increased it is important that the crew be provided operational decision aids. The ship systems decision aids are created by accessing the related models. The models can be designed to represent ship systems and compartments including progressive flooding, fire and smoke spread. This permits the crew to train against dynamic models so that time (especially time late) is always a factor. In operational environments these same models, with inputs from the ships control systems and the crew, also can be used to decide on future courses of action. The proposed Simsmart Total Platform Training System (TPTS) technology introduces training opportunities that challenge the traditional shipboard training methods from engineering and damage control operator and sub-team training to total ship training. The TPTS also allows shipboard engineering operation teams to interactively exercise their skills using a live virtual platform. This provides significant cross-training and team-building qualities that integrate well with all existing engineering training programs. The TPTS technology provides scalable, real-time dynamic ship systems models for any level of required fidelity (any given range of systems and scope (detail) of ship systems selected). The models are issued from engineering activities at the process modeling and simulation phase using the Simsmart Engineering Suite. The TPTS is designed to face a broad range of virtual scenarios with real-time cascading incidents and equipment failure effects that otherwise would only come through actual damage. This product will permit the measurement of human and system performance and present the results in terms of readiness. Layered on the ship systems model (built with the Engineering Suite), the TPTS provides a complete training environment lesson plan generation and execution management capabilities from which incidents may be injected or complete failure scenarios initiated based on time and events. The TPTS provides real-time cascading incidents so that the trainees will “experience” two key elements: ü The interactivity of failures and effects across systems and loss effects on vital machinery systems; ü The speed at which incidents and failure spread, and the time it takes to restore systems after they are “repaired”. |
