Generic COMCEN Simulator
GCS provides end to end training for the COMCEN operators of the RAN’s Major Fleet Units (MFU’s), with all of the equipment of the COMCEN, the interactions between the equipment, and the impact of environmental factors simulated. This includes configuring of antennae, receivers, transmitters, multiplexers, demultiplexers, modems, RF cross bar switch, baseband cross bar switch, cryptographic equipment and COMCEN management software. Trainees learn how to configure equipment to create voice and data circuits, and to understand the impact of the environment on communications. The GCS provides instructors flexible tools to create, edit and run scenarios, and to automatically assess the performance on trainees.
The GCS is in operational use at the Defence Force School of Signals Maritime Communications Information Systems Wing (DFSS MCISW) at HMAS Cerberus.
