The Singer-ASTT of the NAVTACTNGGP is a versatile and modern simulator which renders an effective and realistic training in naval tactics. Beyond that, it provides the potential to analyse the aforementioned interdependence of technology and tactics, and to accept the challenge to develop new tactics vital in modern naval warfare.

The excellent practical experience made with the utilization of the Singer-ASTT and other simulators/procedures trainers in the German Navy initiated ideas about a "Simulation concept for the combat readiness training for the fleet" under effectiveness considerations with respect to costs, personnel and time such that the actual training at sea is cogently improved.

This concept will investigate the possibilities concerning the support of combat readiness training by simulators in the field of independent ship-squadron training in port and at sea and formulate appropriate requirements.

These ideas call for simulators concerning all future weapon systems; for existing weapon systems, it shows possibilities to create simulator capacities for the period 1980-1990. For special training aspects new simulators, at least a complement of existing simulators are required concerning

, surface warfare procedures,

, optical/optronic director system,

, ESM/ECM.
