Visit WebsiteRecent advancements and falling prices of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Extended Reality (XR) technology; e.g., Meta Quest 3, are providing the U.S. Navy (USN) new opportunities to enhance and expand skills provided by Navigation, Shiphandling and Seamanship Trainers (NSSTs) mockups hosted at the Navy’s Mariner Skills Training Centers (MSTCs) Atlantic and Pacific. Project VIBRaNT began as a result of 2023 Tactical Advancements for the Next Generation (TANG) working group meeting, which included fleet operators and Surface Warfare Schools Command personnel. A critical challenge brought to the group was the need for a portable training-aide that could be used on ships for navigation and seamanship learning and rehearsal in between MSTC visits or on deployment.
