A Pioneering Research and Development Project for Marine Training

Titan Boats has collaborated with the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary to build a world class marine training tool: the Fast Rescue Craft Simulator. In a partnership with Transas Simulation, world leaders in vessel simulation, we are creating an experience that
will simulate Marine Search and Rescue Operations. As well, a simulation program has been developed to train both entry- level and advanced navigation, pilotage, and small vessel operations. An immersive training environment provides the operator with realistic equipment, scenarios, and a graphical environment which resembles the real world operations to the highest degree of physical realism in a simulated environment. 


 
The Titan FRC simulator can be used to perform training in scenarios considered too dangerous for  live  boat training (severe weather environments, equipment fault introductions, reduced visibility, etc)
 in a  safe, effective, and convenient environment. This immersive simulator includes: an accurate  mathematical modeling of vessel motion and a mockup of an actual Titan FRC cabin, complete with  real  vessel controls and equipment for a truly realistic experience. Also, detailed graphical models of  the  ownship vessel and target vessels operate in a representation of the Victoria to Sidney ocean  environment that includes accurate depths, buoys, lights, and charted information. A 270° surround  projection system displays the environment, and environmental parameters are controlled by the  instructor. Completing the immersive experience is a 5 speaker sound system providing simulated  engine and environmental noise.

 

The simulated environment allows for the training of three people (a crew) in a closed cabin concept Titan Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) mockup that emphasizes the responsibilities and communication requirements of a three man crew in navigation and emergency situations. Advanced training concepts such as positive control, situational awareness, leadership, risk management, and complex Search and Rescue missions are built into the upper level simulator scenarios and courses. As well, customized scenarios for multiple users are possible such as tactical missions, advanced collision avoidance training, reduced visibility operations and more.

Extreme Conditions that call for Extreme Training Measures.
