Royal Netherlands Navy: 3D Simulator

The Challenge

The Royal Netherlands Navy wants to connect with a new generation of potential naval recruits.

The Project

Incredible Sims™ has been selected to develop a PC game for the Royal Netherlands Navy.

The Solution

This advanced simulation will use video game techniques to enable the general public to experience life aboard an operational warship. Incredible Sims™ will recreate most of the frigate De Ruyter in a 3D game world, allowing the user to interact with the crew and complete a series of wide-ranging missions. Challenges include target practice with 20mm side guns, landing a helicopter on deck and venting smoke after an engine room fire.

Building on the success of SubSafe, an advanced 3D simulation of a Royal Navy Trafalgar class submarine, Incredible Sims™ will bring their experience in game design and creating realistic 3D worlds to this new and exciting project.

RNLN comment: “This application gives a view of the working and living quarters of a navy frigate and it provides a fun environment where you can learn all about the different jobs on a navy vessel. It will give potential seafarers the opportunity to experience “real” life on board a frigate and ensures they will be better informed when they apply for a job in the navy. We chose Incredible Sims™ after seeing a demonstration of SubSafe. With SubSafe they showed they can approach reality in a virtual environment while making it fun and interactive too.”

About Royal Netherlands Navy

The Royal Netherlands Navy contributes in guaranteeing the freedom of the seas and works on a daily basis to guard peace and security in the Netherlands and abroad. It defends national interests and contributes to the worldwide expeditionary capability of the Netherlands’ Armed Forces. The sea provides the Navy with the means to get close to a crisis or disaster zone at any time or place, without infringing the territorial integrity of other countries and without the need for a land base.

All Navy personnel have the ability to respond flexibly and can be deployed quickly in any situation, thanks to their sound education, intensive training and modern equipment. To ensure the Royal Netherlands Navy can perform its duties, every year about 1400 new recruits are required. The Royal Netherlands Navy Recruitment Office is responsible for recruitment.
