Containerised boat simulator



An immersive driver and gunnery simulator that is deployable in a standard ISO container is on display at this year’s I/ITSEC.

Shephard spoke with Paul Lyon, business development director at Esterline, about the collaborative project and how it responds to the current market need for immersive, yet low-cost and deployable training solutions.

Quebec-based D-Box, a developer of motion platforms, has collaborated with several companies on the device, including Esterline for the visual displays, LaserShot for the gunnery equipment and Bohemia Interactive for the visualisation software.

The prototype presented at I/ITSEC is configured for naval operations, but can also be used as a ground vehicle trainer.
