Advanced Nautical Simulator - ANS 6000
- System concept based on cutting edge technology
- High-fidelity simulation of ship models and hydrodynamics
- Unique, innovative instructor concept
- Unique data model for sophisticated simulations
Despite technical advances, safely guiding a ship through international waters remains a huge challenge. The spectrum of tasks for nautical officers continues to grow, as does the numbers of ships underway in the world. Moreover there is the added challenge of ever-larger ships with increasingly complex cargos operating under ever-tighter time and cost constraints. These factors make realistic, reliable, demanding training with simulators an absolute must.
Rheinmetall is one of the world’s leading suppliers of sophisticated bridge simulators, the partner of choice for a whole host of satisfied customers.
Modern, highly complex bridge installations equipped with all the relevant control and display elements necessary for carrying out difficult manoeuvres, require simulators whose capabilities far exceed the requirements of basic nautical training. As a top maker of advanced simulator technology, Rheinmetall pays special attention to precise replication of the effects of interaction between the ship, its environment and other ships.
A far-reaching system quality concept minimizes simulator artificiality to a unique degree. In particular, this reinforces the direct transfer to the workplace of skills learned in the simulator, fostering operational proficiency and decision-making abilities, and thus helping to avoid mishaps on the real bridge.
For many years, Rheinmetall has pursued a clear, well-defined product strategy in the maritime simulation segment, making its Advanced Nautical Simulator 6000 (ANS6000) one of the best nautical simulators on the market today.
