K-Sim Celestial Navigation
The ancient sailing skills your crew needs to know
The threat of GPS jamming, spoofing and cyberattacks is representing an increased risk for operational and navigation safety. This means that officers and crews must be prepared for situations where they could be acting on intentionally misleading information.
Benefit from an immersive and realistic training experience
Our celestial navigation simulator delivers a highly immersive and realistic training experience, accurately reproducing celestial bodies in their true positions—regardless of where the virtual vessel operates. This ensures unmatched realism and precision in every scenario.
Designed to build confidence and competence, the student station combines a dynamic virtual environment with a fully functional sextant, enabling hands-on mastery of traditional navigation techniques.
The instructor station provides complete control over training sessions, allowing instructors to create, monitor, and evaluate performance in real time—ensuring effective learning outcomes and measurable progress.
K-Sim Celestial Navigation offers several key advantages:
- Independent and reliable — provides a pedagogical and realistic way to determine position, heading, and latitude when electronics such as GPS or ECDIS is jammed, hacked, or unavailable
- Builds cognitive skills — strengthens math, astronomy, timekeeping, spatial reasoning, and problem-solving
- Increases situational awareness — improves observation of the horizon, weather, and constellations at sea
- Available for training anytime - independent of time and weather conditions
