Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Simulator
Long a leader in radar simulation, Buffalo Computer Graphics (BCG) also offers a Virtual GMDSS Trainer and a realistic GMDSS Training System (see bottom image).
The BCG approach uses computer stimulated virtual radio and satellite communication panels, along with Telex terminals and Navtex receivers. The system provides the user with all the essential elements necessary for training the complexities of GMDSS. This GMDSS Trainer utilizes Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technology, and no RF emissions! BCG's GMDSS Training System is designed to be compliant with existing performance standards of the international maritime authorities.
Control over the GMDSS simulation is provided by our GMDSS Maritime Simulation Tool (G-MaST) operator interface. This software provides the instructor with control over the training scenario, while providing a means to monitor and interact using all communication media.
