Advanced K-Sim Navigation innovation will certainly assist in screening of brand-new independent vessel innovations at the proving ground in Korea
Asker, Norway, based Kongsberg Digital has actually won an agreement to provide a fully-featured bridge simulator for a brand-new, modern independent ship study center in Ulsan, South Korea.
The Korean federal government has actually devoted to spend 130 billion won (concerning US$ 110 million) in the task over the following 3 years, with an objective of beginning procedures in 2023. The simulation agreement is being supplied with maritime ICT merging experts eMARINE Global.
The simulator will certainly be utilized mostly for r & d of navigational devices and also screen systems, and also will certainly assist in screening of independent vessel innovations in a risk-free online atmosphere prior to tests in a marked independent ship examination bed.
Based on Kongsberg Digital’s industry-proven K-Sim Navigation system, the brand-new system will certainly supply high-fidelity aesthetic and also physical simulation, a radar signal user interface feature and also software program for navigating evaluation, devices examination and also assessment.
The high-fidelity simulator schedules for installment in November this year.
In enhancement to K-Sim Navigation, the distribution will certainly consist of advancement of brand-new software program to incorporate exterior inputs such as general practitioner and also wave sensing units, in addition to an API user interface to allow simulation information transfer to various other systems.
Kongsberg Digital will certainly likewise provide a location data source for the online “Ulsan Port,” and also a modeling device making it possible for brand-new simulator vessel designs to be developed from the ground up.ry
Kongsberg Digital’s elderly vice head of state Tone-Merete Hansen claimed: “Kongsberg Digital’s suite of simulators has a huge potential in the maritime research and development sector. The K-Sim technology platform, with its physics-based modeling, incredibly realistic vessel behavior and virtual environment, enables testing and verification of operations to a very high level. Our simulation technology will support UIPA to test, verify and shape innovations in the field of autonomy. Other international autonomy projects have recently selected our simulation technology to carry out advanced autonomy studies, so we see a new market for advanced simulation growing.”
Kongsberg Digital is acknowledged as the technology-leader in simulators for team training and also a driving pressure behind the expanding use electronic doubles in maritime applications. The business’s adaptability to supply a personalized solution consisting of research-focused software program advancement for the brand-new independent ship study center in Ulsan mirrors its main function as an enabler of brand-new safety and security and also efficiency improving innovations for both manned and also unmanned vessel procedures.
