Title:

Hardware Marine Simulation Solution - Feasibility for Dual-Use Defence Applications

Agreement Number:

1043308

Agreement Value:

$62,505.00

Agreement Date:

Jun 1, 2026 - Oct 5, 2026

Description:

This project seeks to develop a high-fidelity "stimulation" solution to bridge advanced marine simulation software with real-world small vessel plotters. By creating a translation layer that feeds simulation environmental data into a specialized hardware interface and a native National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA 2000 (N2K)) library, the project will enable hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) training on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) devices. A key focus of this development is ensuring that the translation layer and new NMEA 2000 capabilities are seamlessly integrated into the existing software architecture without compromising legacy systems.
