ANZAC Ship Maintenance Training System (AMTS)

SMA has produced the ANZAC Ship Maintenance Training System (AMTS) for the ANZAC Ship Alliance as a replacement for operational level maintenance training that was originally delivered using actual ship-fit Equipment. The AMTS provides the capability to:

• a) Provide Trainees with an understanding of Equipment operation, functional composition, and the basic signal flows between subassemblies;
• b) Provide training in an environment free from the dangers of the Equipment, such as high voltages or Radio Frequency (RF) energy; and
• c) Provide training for maintenance technicians in system operation, fault finding and maintenance procedures.

The AMTS consists of three identical and independent Classrooms, with one Instructor and up to six Trainees in each Classroom, and supports the following Equipment:

• a) Ericsson Sea Giraffe Target Indication Radar (TIR);
• b) Raytheon AN/SPS-49 2D Radar (2DR);
• c) Cossor Identification Friend or Foe (IFF); and
• d) Thales Spherion B Hull Mounted Sonar (HMS), including Underwater Telephone (UWT).

The AMTS provides the Instructor with the ability to present traditional theory teaching, using a Learning Management System. Both Instructor and Trainees also have access to Personal Computer based Maintenance Simulators of ship-fit Equipment. The AMTS also includes two Part Task Trainers (PTTs) for the development of specialist physical skills, where the PTTs provide a physical representation of part of the real Equipment.
