The simulator allows to conduct radar and navigation exercises both on coastal and inland waterways, taking the specific conditions and characteristics of each domain into account.
Furthermore, the system includes a control room, in which two instructors can monitor and direct the trainees’ operations, a separate exercise preparation room and a central server room. To come as close as possible to the conditions on the helm of a modern police boat, the simulator generates and processes the raw analog signals which are required to drive the radar hardware and the entire navigational equipment.
The system consists of three trainee consoles that are set up like a real ship bridge with original radar, radar display and navigational instruments. The WSPS radar simulation training system is being used by the Hamburg Water Police Academy for the training of all German Water Police officers. "This system provides the most realistic and comprehensive radar video generation I have seen among European ship simulators," stated Hermann Haberkamp, Germany's leading expert for inland and coastal radar navigation. Upon certifying the simulator for use as radar training and examination tool, experts from the Traffic Technologies Centre of the German Federal Waterways Administration (Fachstelle für Verkehrstechniken) and the industrial services company German Lloyd were laudatory of the simulator training system and of Barco's simulation software. The German Water Police can now claim to have one of the most modern radar simulators within Europe. Thanks to the joint capabilities of Barco, ELNA Elektro-Navigation und Industrie GmbH, and IN-Innovative Navigation GmbH, the highly sophisticated simulation system was developed and delivered on time, despite a very demanding time schedule. The official inauguration of the system took place on 11 September 2006. KORTRIJK, Belgium, 15 November 2006 - Barco is proud to announce that its radar simulation software has been successfully installed and put into operation as part of the new radar simulation training system of the German Water Police Academy (Wasserschutzpolizei-Schule, WSPS) in Hamburg.
