      abstract = {This paper looks to expand on the INEC 2016 paper  ‘The future role of virtual reality within warship  support solutions for the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft  carriers’ presented by Ross Basketter, Craig  Birchmore and Abbi Fisher from BAE Systems in May 2016 and  the EAAW VII paper ‘Testing the boundaries of virtual  reality within ship support’ presented by John Newell  from BAE Systems and Simon Luck from BMT DSL in June  2017.

BAE Systems and BMT have developed a 3D walkthrough  training system that supports the teams working closely  with the QEC Aircraft Carriers in Portsmouth and this work  was presented at EAAW VII. Since then this work has been  extended to demonstrate the art of the possible on Type 26.  This latter piece of work is designed to explore the role  of 3D immersive environments in the development &  fielding of support and training solutions, across the  range of support disciplines.

The combined team are  looking at how this digital thread leads from design of  platforms, both surface and subsurface, through build into  in-service support and training. This rich data and ways in  which it could be used in the whole lifecycle of the ship,  from design and development (used for spatial acceptance,  HazID, etc) all the way through to operational support and  maintenance (in conjunction with big data coming off from  the ship coupled with digital tech docs for maintenance  procedures) using constantly developing technologies such  as 3D, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed  Reality, will be proposed.  The drive towards  gamification in the training environment to keep younger  recruits interested and shortening course lengths will be  explored. The paper develops the options and looks to how  this technology can be used and where the value proposition  lies. },
