Published on 27 Oct 2015
Official site: https://sites.google.com/site/virtualshipv9/homeDescription:VirtualShip has received the DNV GL Statement of Compliance and Product Type certificate for Class A, B, and S maritime simulators. It is a native IEEE standard high-level architecture framework, which provides a modular and extensible ship simulation that can be readily adapted to meet your specific requirements.
VirtualShip simulator systems can be integrated with combat direction systems, firearms trainers, semi-automated forces, flight, navigation, crane, machinery, and ship control systems of various providers. The applications are scalable from on-board and embedded part task trainers to full mission bridges.
VirtualShip includes a CSC-developed application programming interface for:
• Integrating third-party products into VirtualShip
