THE SUBMARINE CONTROL SIMULATOR “VALNA – K” – FEATURE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT DIRECTIONS

The use of simulators is a lasting trend in the process of training and maintaining the skills and habits of the crews of naval vessels. The contemporary computer technologies allow great possibilities for the development of simulators with a high degree of representation of processes and physical objects ( maneuvering ships, other processes in real time, ship systems, devices and complexes) [1], [2]. The Republic of Bulgaria has the design experience as well as the scientific and research units with well-proven achievements in the computer simulation and the development of maritime simulators. One of them is the “Valna-k” submarine control simulator.
