Past event: Naval Training and Simulation 2016 Conference

Embracing Technology; Maximising Effectiveness; Ensuring Success


Naval Training and Simulation 2016
(NT&S 2016) is unique in its focus on naval training and simulation: a field of great importance and one subject to significant change and development over the coming years. At a time when manpower in Western navies is shrinking and training budgets are frequently constrained, the question of how best to train your personnel is of paramount importance.
  • Learn how to strike the right balance between synthetic and practical training in order to achieve maximum effectiveness.
  • Explore how to improve the fidelity of training using the latest technological developments.
  • Examine how using synthetic training can reduce manpower and cost burden.
  • Explore the benefits of prioritising training early in the acquisition process in order to improve the capability of future asset.
  • Improving international training and interoperability in order to improve operational effectiveness with allies/neighbours.
  • How the use of third-party training can potentially increase the overall effectiveness of training.
