IT2EC 2024 Best Paper
Nick Benedek
On-board synthetic training - why is it so hard?
- Train as you fight, anywhere, anytime: unlock the power of on-board synthetic training
for modern navies. - Beyond live exercises: explore how synthetic training on-board ships enables cost-effective, realistic rehearsal for complex threats and missions.
- From hypersonic missiles to swarms: train for scenarios too risky or expensive to
recreate in live exercises, maximising mission readiness. - Collective defence: hear how synthetic training empowers ships and task groups to
collaborate effectively in multi-domain scenarios. - Innovate your Navy: learn how to harness this technology to continuously refine your
war fighting skills against evolving threats.
MODSIM World 2024 Best Paper

Creating Virtual World Environments for Ocean Vehicles
This paper presents approaches and workflows for creating test environments capable of verification and validation of oceanic vehicles including real-world and synthetic bathymetry import, vehicle visualization, stationary and dynamic obstacles, example sensor development, and built-in subprocesses to handle flow field effects (dynamic temperature and salinity profiles, ocean turbulence, ocean current, and irregular Sea State wave effects), all while leveraging Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) with Unreal Engine.
