The Australian Navy has contracted with Navantia an extension of the supply of the integrated system of Control platform (IPMS) with the aim of incorporating an advanced training system on board: On Board Training System (OBTS).
The OBTS consists of a simulation software that provides an environment for training, through the simulation of equipment and systems connected to the IPMS, as well as dynamic against the actions of the operator response to allocations.
The software implements a coherent dynamic simulation in real time and allows operators of the IPMS consoles to connect to a virtual ship with the same behavior as the real, for training both individually and in groups.
The OBTS is a complement of the IPMS provided a high degree of training to allocations to respond to any situation that can occur in a real navigation.
The OBTS is implemented on the basis of the COMPLEX/SIMPLEX technology developed by Navantia systems.
The value of this expansion of supply is about 3.1 million euros, and will be developed in systems Cartagena, for a period of 24 months.
Australia has a strategic importance for Navantia, country where in addition to the successes achieved in the field of shipbuilding, has managed to be a reference in the area of systems, including provision of integrated platform Control of the ships systems.
Navantia is currently starting their activities in the Area of support to the life cycle where expected to be a relevant Player both in the maintenance of vessels provided such as the maintenance of systems and equipment belonging to LHD, LLC and AWD platform.
Navantia currently has about 30 people working in Australia for the different programs that are participating and presence that it expected to increase through the newly created Navantia Australia Pty.
