Navigation, Seamanship, and
Shiphandling Trainers (NSST)
ASI, in partnership with BGI, has secured a contract with the U.S. Navy to modernize the Navigation, Seamanship, and Shiphandling (NSS) capabilities across their existing trainers in nine fleet training centers globally. These centers are in Norfolk, Virginia; San Diego, California; Newport, Rhode Island; Orlando, Florida; Yokosuka, Japan; Mayport, Florida; Everett, Washington; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Sasebo, Japan; and Rota, Spain.
The contract entails delivering a scalable common baseline powered by cutting-edge gaming engine technology. This technical strategy opens avenues to expand training continuity by utilizing reusable components within the common baseline framework. This initiative aligns with the Navy's Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) goals, ensuring the right training is delivered at the right place and the right time in a sailor’s career.
These trainers are pivotal in enhancing seamanship readiness and skill proficiency for U.S. Navy Surface Fleet personnel, fostering development across a broad spectrum of individual and team training scenarios.
