Mine Hunting Simulation System
Cirrus has developed the Mine Hunting Simulation System (MHSS) for the RAN's Mine Warfare Faculty (MWF) at HMAS WATERHEN. This system enables the MWF to train new sonar operators on the RAN's Mine Hunter Coastal (MHC) in the art of mine hunting. The MHSS incorporates a high fidelity simulation of the underwater environment within which mine hunting occurs, and the acoustic imaging process of the Thales 2093 variable depth sonar. This simulation enables operators to discover the impacts of operating band, vertical beam steer, array elevation, sound velocity profile, sea bed material, sea bed slope, sea bed ridging on the ability to detect mine contacts of differing size, shape and reflectivity. Operators can interact with an accurate emulation of the 2093 user interface to measure the contact and classify it.
To extend the value of training, the MHSS also incorporates an emulation of the (BAE Systems) Nautis Tactical Data System, and its interaction with the 2093 sonar.
In conjunction, this provides Command Team Training of sonar search and classify operators, and their coordination by a Mine Hunting Director.
