Sperry Marine starts training program for bridge system

(www.the-triton.com)

Northrop Grumman Corp’s Sperry Marine business unit has introduced an embedded training system designed to support on-board training for ships equipped with the Sperry Marine integrated bridge system.

The Integrated Bridge System Trainer (IBS-T) is an embedded simulator system that runs on the ship’s installed equipment to provide realistic training for the ship’s navigation department and bridge watch team in all aspects of navigation, seamanship and shiphandling, as well as navigation planning, watch briefings for port entries and departures and other planned piloting evolutions.

It was developed by Virginia-based Sperry Marine in conjunction with Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC) and Buffalo Computer Graphics (BCG).

The IBS-T can be used to run scripted simulations on the ship’s integrated bridge system, including radar displays, naval electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS-N) and steering/control displays.

Visual images of the scenario are projected onto a large screen at the front of the bridge for added realism. Training can be conducted in port or at sea.
