Advanced simulator training for Navy personnel
Support mission readiness with realistic naval simulator training
With over 50 years of expertise, Kongsberg Maritime provides state-of-the-art simulator solutions, delivering realistic, cost-effective training without the risks and logistical challenges of live exercises. Our simulators offer recruits and officers immersive training environments to prepare for advanced scenarios and critical missions.
Facilitate safer and more cost-efficient training
Highly flexible, configurable and customisable, our simulators are recognised as vital training platforms for developing competence and situational awareness across all vessel operations, including fast craft deployment, navigation and engine control. Combining the different simulators makes it possible to carry out complex and integrated team training covering all aspects of vessel operation in a single exercise.

Configuration flexibility enables optimised learning experience
From full‑mission simulators to cloud‑based solutions, K‑Sim combines realism and flexibility to deliver immersive learning experiences that strengthen decision‑making in real‑world maritime operations.
More than training for the expected, K‑Sim empowers trainees to seize opportunities, understand constraints, and navigate and handle the unexpected with confidence.
Cyber Defence training
K‑Sim simulators support cyber security training by recreating realistic threats such as GPS spoofing, jamming, and ECDIS failure. This enables crews to understand system impacts and respond effectively in critical situations.
The ancient sailing skills your crew needs to know
The K-Sim Celestial Navigation simulator provides a pedagogical and realistic way to determine position, heading, and latitude when electronics such as GPS or ECDIS is jammed, hacked, or unavailable

Royal Australian Navy quote
The provision of the Choules model and, in particular, the installation of a K-Sim Engine desktop simulator on board the ship provides the Royal Australian Navy with a significant training capability that will greatly enhance the quality of training that can be provided to the ship’s engineering personnel.
Royal Canadian Navy quote
Kongsberg Maritime has provided the Royal Canadian Navy outstanding support to their all-important navigation and bridge simulators for the past 20 years. The company's workforce, whether from Norway, the USA, or locally in Esquimalt and Halifax has been instrumental in providing reliable and modern training systems that have remained at the leading edge of technology.
