Babcock to investigate simulation and modelling for military driver training
Babcock is investing in a research and development project to support the future of military driver training.
The company has signed an agreement with VRAI, Novatech and Bohemia to investigate how technology can be used to create training environments at scale which are focussed on the user experience, insight intensive and can be used to train quickly, effectively and reach competence more quickly.
Working with SMEs, academia and industry partners, Babcock will explore how simulation and modelling technologies can provide an alternative to traditional training methods, while helping to reduce environmental impact, costs and deliver training where it is needed.
In a statement, Jo Rayson, managing director of Babcock’s training business, said: “There can be many challenges delivering military driver training, including how individuals maintain their skills once qualified, the availability of training platforms, or difficult to replicate operational environments. Babcock is investing in this project to investigate simulation as a realistic way of delivering this essential training capability, driving down costs and reducing the impact traditional training has on the environment.
