Maneuvering Simulation of Planing Hull

With dramatic improvements in vessel performance and tactical systems of high speed crafts in recent

years, naval, coast guard and law enforcement agencies increasingly task them to complete a

growing range of operational objectives. The combination of faster vessels, more sophisticated

systems and extended responsibilities has driven fleet operators to re-examine how their boat crews

are trained. Simulation has been used for decades to enhance personnel training however the

quantity and distribution of crews combined with variations in vessel design and equipment have

limited the use of simulation for high speed crafts training. To overcome these limitations and address

HSC training requirements, an attempt will be made in this project to develop a maneuvering

simulation model for high speed crafts with planing hull. Virtual Marine Technology (VMT), the partner

organization, develops simulators for survival craft, fast response craft and high speed electronic

navigation training. Participating in this internship will be very beneficial for VMT because by

developing planing hull maneuvering…
