Indian firm to provide simulators to Kenyan Navy

ARI Simulation, a domestic firm, today said it has successfully completed the indigenous manufacturing of a suite of Warship Bridge Simulators for Kenyan Navy.
The company stated that it is now in the process of delivering the simulator suite to the Kenyan Navy fleet.
The suite comprises a large primary bridge, built entirely to DNV-GL Class A Standards and fully integrated with six additional Class B Bridges.
Specialised naval maneuvering operations like group/fleet tactical maneuvering training and convoy training can be practiced using this simulator.
The primary bridge has more than 300 degrees horizontal field of view visualisation system presented using high end projection systems.

The suite replicates the exact set of vessel maneuvering controls with navigation and collision avoidance equipment as found on board the Kenyan naval vessels.

Communication system and safety control modules are also integrated in the suite. The pre-delivery-inspection (PDI) of the simulators was completed recently.
The systems are scheduled to be operational and in use by June this year at a new purpose-designed facility currently being built in Mombasa.
Shravan Rewari, CEO and Managing Director, ARI Simulation, said, "This suite of simulators has been designed keeping in mind future expansion capabilities and offers a high degree of integration and interoperability.

"Taking the government's 'Make in India' initiative ahead, our simulators are built entirely in-house using indigenous technologies completely developed and owned by ARI".
