“Immersive” VR tech boosting RAF helicopter trainees’ skills

Virtual Reality headsets and dynamic VR training environments procured by DE&S are being used to help train the next generation of RAF helicopter aircrew to fly and operate the Puma and Chinook.

The new Combat Support Ship (CSS) Den Helder has not yet been delivered, but the crew can already get to know the ship thanks to an extensive Virtual Reality package. Shipbuilder Damen Naval has delivered a virtual copy of the ship to the Materieel & IT Command (COMMIT). It is the first time the company has created a VR version of an entire ship for and with the Royal Netherlands Navy.
