L-3 MAPPS knows that a well-trained crew is a key factor in the safe and effective operation of a ship. Moreover, it contributes to a sense of professionalism which enhances both individual satisfaction and retention.
Operational tempo and budgetary constraints make it difficult to send personnel away for training courses, refreshers or re-qualification. Incorporating training sessions on board a fully operational vessel, without disrupting its mission and manning, can be an excellent compromise to the training dilemma. L-3 MAPPS' comprehensive On-Board Training System (OBTS) makes this a reality.
L-3 MAPPS' OBTS trains crew members aboard their vessels, using the same Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) control consoles and interface that they use in the day-to-day operation of their ships. As detailed below, training sessions can be conducted without additional training components aboard the vessel. Personnel can train during quiet periods and still maintain a state of readiness with respect to their primary duties. This innovative approach ensures a high standard of training and qualification, and a significant reduction in operational costs because personnel remain active members of the crew even while training.
