To provide engine room training to crews and officers from entry level to chief engineer. The ERS solution for marine engine room simulators has been designed to meet different platforms for full-scope general marine engineering, maintenance, operation, troubleshooting, casualty control and engineering resource management procedures at a single facility.
DESCRIPTION:
The ERS, which consists of a fully integrated system of commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software, provides Army watercraft engineers with real-time, man-in-the-loop simulation training to Army doctrinal standards. The ERS integrates computer-based simulation with vessel-specific, three-dimensional, physically-interactive simulation/stimulation components. The ERS meets the needs of the U.S. Army Transportation School for initial and sustainment training on the marine engineering systems and components of the Theater Support Vessel, Logistic Support Vessel, Landing Craft Utility 2000 and Large Tug.
