October 2005 51 • Fire fighting training for the Royal

Dutch Navy. Fire is 'core business' for the navy, but realistic training exercises are difficult and expensive. VSTEP has developed a training environment that allows crews to simulate emergencies onboard. Crewmembers assume their fire team roles and need to take action as they would in real life. Company Safety Officer (BHV).

Training Company Safety Officers to evacuate colleagues, extinguish small fires and apply first aid is trained in sim- ulated incident scenarios.

The application of virtual reality train- ing based on gaming technology is rap- idly gaining pace.

The right combina- tion of game-based virtual reality and practical training is likely to result in courses that will prepare crews operat- ing in high risk environments more effectively.
