The tests were performed in face-to-face collaboration with the team of inspectors from the shipyard that built the ships in Australia, ASC, as well as with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The second test before installation of the software on vessels be held in December.

Tests have been developed throughout the month of February, beginning with meetings beginning of tests (RRT) and ending with results analysis meetings. They have taken place in the facilities of control systems in the shipyard of Navantia Cartagena, on an exhaustive test environment (LBTS), in which each set element of the IPMS is present, reflecting the final configuration of the boat.

The resulting software will serve as reference to parallel simulation program for training of endowments (IPMS TS) for the three destroyers of the Hobart class, ACS shipyard is building at its facilities in Adelaide.
