Minehunter Training Equipment

As part of the Minehunter Coastal Project SMA provided support to assist the Royal Australian Navy to select a range of training equipment that provided the best training value for their fixed budget.

SMA's services included:

• developing a selection methodology to determine the most effective way to spend the Minehunter training aids budget

• compiling a list of potential training equipment (approximately 300 candidates were identified)

• developing a propriety analysis tool to evaluate the candidates

• undertaking an iterative process of selecting the preferred solutions.

As a result of this process the Commonwealth was able to select a total of 76 training aids comprising 49 PC based simulations, 7 part task trainers, 12 items of real equipment, and 8 sets of selected components (eg cylinder heads).

SMA was selected to develop the 49 simulations and two of the part task trainers. The simulations were developed to be instructor-led, utilising the SMA-developed multimedia lectern. All simulations are delivered on CD-ROM with no runtime licence required. This allows the trainees to load the simulations onto their own computer for after hours study, and it also means that the simulations can be utilised onboard for refresher training.
