India’s Indigenous Simulators Cut the Cost of Naval Training

Training sailors with real warships, submarines and aircraft costs a lot of money and fuel.

It also requires large crews and uses up valuable operating time.

Some dangerous events, such as missile attacks, are difficult to practise repeatedly in real life.

Simulators create a virtual version of the ship, ocean and battlefield.

Sailors can practise navigation, emergencies and combat many times without leaving port.

They can also train against virtual submarines, ships and aircraft.

Indian-made systems can be adjusted for India’s maps, platforms, threats and drones.

This may help crews become more prepared while reducing training costs.
