a third-party, for multiple
weapon types to facilit-ate
highly realistic and
full-scale tactical train-ing

environments.
“Advanced systems of
this calibre will provide
the Singapore Police
Coast Guard with
simulation training
capability of an
entirely new level,
says Tone-Merete

“Simulator training is
an absolutely crucial
resource in the modern, ever-changing
maritime environment, and we are proud
and excited that the Singapore Police

such as the Singapore Police Coast
Guard necessitates advanced hydrody-namic
modelling performace to ensure

new level of hydrodynamic capabilities
and will create a realistic and immersive
simulated environment to effectively
train the boat crew on ship handling and
fast interception operations
together with weapon
engagements.
“The delivery will combine existing
state-of-the-art software functional-ity
with new customised vessel mod-els
including mock-ups of the vessel
hull and hardware similar to those on
board the boats, an innovative projec-tion
system and additional functionality
supporting the Singapore Police Coast
Guard’s training objectives,” adds Lars
Klemmetsby, Vice President Business
Development, Kongsberg Digital.
“With our innovative simulator sys-tem
placed with such an influential
and well-respected customer, we will
have the strategic and reputational
benefit of a unique reference site
