Rheinmetall supplies new ship simulators for naval training
The defence and technology group Rheinmetall has 2024 the first of seven simulation systems for the Naval Operations School (MOS) in Bremerhaven handed over. The training equipment known as Training Navigation (AATN) is intended to enable decentralised, local training. In addition to Bremerhaven, further facilities are being built in Flensburg (MSM), Wilhelmshaven, Kiel, Eckernförde and Warnemünde.
The event on the grounds of the Hohe Düne base was well attended and took place in a relaxed atmosphere. Users, procurers and industry took the opportunity to exchange ideas. After welcoming speeches from the Technical Government Director Böhnke and Rheinmetall representative Zarth the Group symbolically handed over the system to the BAAINBw.
In favour of the user Frigate Captain Thorsten Vögler, Head of the Corvette Operational Training Centre (EAZK). Also present were Captain at sea Jörg Modey from the naval command and Rear Admiral Jens Nemeyer. Afterwards the participants could test the new simulator yourself - the event offered a so-called "freeplay simulation".

Also Frigate Captain Marc Tippner, Commander of the 1st Corvette Squadron, expressed his satisfaction with the expansion of the training options. However, he pointed out that the facility is currently still housed in a temporary infrastructure solution, namely in containers - albeit a very comfortable one.
With the new Rheinmetall Ship simulators for marine training This enables practical and effective training that combines state-of-the-art technology and realistic scenarios. The modernised simulation systems make a significant contribution to making training more efficient. Thanks to the decentralised concept, locations such as Bremerhaven, Flensburg, Wilhelmshaven and Kiel can be trained individually. Rheinmetall specifically utilises the latest technologies to provide the navy with realistic and flexible training conditions.
In addition to the new Ship simulators is committed Rheinmetall also internationally in the area of maritime safety - for example with the MASS decoy system for the Australian Navy.
