To provide the Army with an upgraded, high-speed ship simulator replacing the Theater Support Vessel (TSV) with the JHSV. The JHSV will be added to the Maritime Integrated Training System (MITS) family of maritime training simulators to provide a total training solution for the primary navigation, seamanship and ship handling, and the Engine Room Simulator (ERS).
DESCRIPTION:
The JHSV trainer will be fully integrated and compatible with the existing MITS for integrated exercises. The JHSV Program will update key elements of the MITS such as the Full Mission Bridge (FMB) and the ERS. The JHSV FMB simulator will replicate the key features and functions necessary to train essential operating tasks carried out to doctrinal standards. This includes the training of Army mariners to published competency requirements. These objectives are consistent with the required simulation objectives for a Class A bridge simulator. The JHSV ERS system is provided as an upgrade to the existing MITS ERS. The JHSV ERS system upgrades the TSV ERS elements of the existing multi-ship ERS system to the JHSV machinery system. All of the other existing capabilities of the ERS, such as the instructor station, evaluation system and CCTV monitoring system, remain in place and fully functional. Existing ERS elements will be upgraded with the newest JHSV software version in order to ensure native compatibility across all ERS student stations and the Instructor/Operator Station (IOS).
