The Australian government is funding the development of a cutting-edge Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) naval firefighting training system for the Australian Defence Force.
The $5.13 million contract with Deakin University will see it collaborate with Australian immersive learning solutions developer Flaim Systems which is based in Geelong and Kellogg, Brown & Root. The immersive training system will combine AR/VR technology with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Australia’s Minister for Defence Industry, Melissa Price, said the investment could significantly improve the ADF’s naval firefighting training capability. “Deakin University’s new system will provide the ADF with a more diverse and realistic range of naval firefighting and training options that could significantly improve learning outcomes and safety.”
Flaim Systems has a client portfolio that includes the US Air Force, Rio Tinto and CFA and developed the world’s first immersive technology enabled firefighter training solution at Manufutures on Deakin’s Waurn Ponds campus.
