The ABC’s of Training

A. What to train?

B. Who to train?

C. How to train? (solve A and B)

Keeping in mind that;

• if your «How» does not contribute to and/or fulfill your «What» for

«Who», then you are following a wrong path…

• approximately 80% of information used for decision making are

based on visual perception…

• simulation is A LOT more than the simulator itself

Example: Operation MAROPS

An example of integration of

simulator and reality

WHO?Primary target group:

Last year students at

RNoN, all branches:

- Team and Individually

- Freshmen in context

- The Newspaper boy

and the Editor

NOT the staff!

WHAT?Training objectives:

1. Let the students

experience the

complexity of

Maritime Operations

2. Let the students

experience the

importance of good

co-operation

between branches



10

AvdelingsnavnSjøforsvarets skoler / Sjøkrigsskolen HOW?Challenge #1:

What kind of maritime operation is suitable for all?

• Must display complexity

• Must require co-operation between branches

• Must require common understanding and

organizational competence

• Must require individuals (branches) with specific

competence

• Must be met by simple means

PICO – Establishing and maintaining a surface

picture including incidents and special tasks



11

AvdelingsnavnSjøforsvarets skoler / Sjøkrigsskolen HOW to do PICO?Challenge #2:

We want everybody in their original teams at sea in

order to do PICO in a maritime environment.

8 teams require 8 ships, but only 4 available.

Now what?

Could we place 4 teams in the simulator and

swap half way through the exercise?

What should the simulator teams do?

Realism important for exercise objectives.



12


Challenge #3:

How can we give the simulator students the

experience of really being on board participating in

the operation like a real sailing ship?

Daily routines and consequenses is critical

Challenge #4:

How can we give the onboard students the feeling

of having 8 participating ships and not just the 4

they can see at sea?

Reports and responses must be like real

Royal Norwegian Armed ForcesNaval Academy / Navigation Centre HOW to do REALISM?


13


Challenge #5:

How to create the requirement for branch co-

operation?

Teams consist of personnel from all branches

(like a real crew)

Logistics- and service requirements like in RL;

a. Students may pose a LOG cell

b. Students may pose a SERVICE cell

c. Students may pose a STAFF-cell

d. Staff must supervise all cells or pose them if

not assigned to students

14


Particulars for the Exercise:

• 8 ships participating;

4 at sea and 4 in the simulator…

• 96 hours continuous operation

• Ships routines like OOW, OOD, handovers,

operation cycles, resting areas, meals, hygiene, etc

must be implemented for simulator ships

• Picture building/compilation (PICO) by integration

of real ships and simulator in common exercise

Operation Area:

• Requires physical

separation

• Large enough

operation areas

• “Buffer zone”

• Critical to ensure

LIVE and SIM units

never are within

visual range of each

Communication and

Information Exchange

• Cell phones?

• Internet?

• Google Drive

• AIS (live-to-Sim)

Participating traffic (a few examples):


21


Challenges (for the staff!):

• Co-ordinate AND separate operations

• Communication between units

• Information exchange between operation areas

• Real ships and Simulator crew swap, including

recognition on the new platform

• Long lasting exercises may pose a challenge for

the simulator to handle due to data handling

• System stability of “on-line” connection

(technical faults converted to real events/pause)

• Case: Cruise ship on fire off North Cape

• Priority tasks (Evacuation, Caretaking, Damcon)

Who:

1. Cruise Line Main Office & Readiness Centre Miami

2. European Supply Provider in England

AvdelingsnavnSjøforsvarets skoler / SjøkrigsskolenRoyal Norwegian Armed ForcesNaval Academy / Navigation Centre Our philosophy

• Simulators in general are designed for basic

purposes

• Basic use of simulators = Status Quo (“RL”)

• Use beyond the basics = Creativity

• Creativity including developer => Development

• Active development over time => Evolution

People crazy enough to think they can change the

world are normally the ones who do! (Henry Ford)
