ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY
using today’s digital technology
to prepare for
tomorrow’s missions
When the Royal Australian Navy provides its
officers with training and experience in piloting,
navigating, operating and maintaining its fleet,
it uses state-of-the-art simulation and training
facilities supported by CSC.
Since 2001, CSC’s electronic warfare
subject matter experts (SMEs) have
provided the Navy and its contractors
with training and services for
engineering and systems development.
The $100 million contract involved
creating purpose-built simulators
based on the ANZAC ship-fit Combat
System, which are used for training,
software testing and integration
testing.
Delivered in 1996, the simulators have
been in constant use for more than 18
years at HMAS Watson in Sydney. The
Navy uses these simulators to develop
and test modifications to the Command
and Control system, as well as conduct
end-user training. The training
environment consists of a physically
accurate mock-up of an operations room
with a voice communication system
and instructor facilities for set-up,
control and monitoring of:
• Navigation systems
• Radars and IFF
• Sonar
• Electronic support measures
• Fire control systems.
CSC continues to provide support,
upgrades and enhancements to the
ANZAC simulators.
CSC provides upgrades to the ANZAC
simulation system’s landmass
representation, phased array radar and
navigation radars. We also provide ‘train
the trainer’ services for every upgrade.
Our SMEs are electronic warfare
specialists with significant experience
in the Australian Defence Force, including
postings as instructors and operational
electronic warfare managers, and
conducting real-world airborne training.
CSC Australia’s electronic warfare
SMEs act as the principal exercise and
trials planning representatives for the
Electronic Warfare Training Services
(EWTS) program. They are the Royal
Australian Navy’s primary points of
contact on electronic warfare.
HARNESSING OUR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY
As joint owners of the intellectual
property (IP) of ANZAC Ship Combat
System Simulators, the Royal Australian
Navy and CSC have a unique opportunity
to use the IP to deliver cost-effective
and high-fidelity training simulators for
Canberra Class LHD and Hobart Class
AWD ships.
Building on this partnership and
shared IP, the Royal Australian Navy
can reduce expenditure on simulation
design and development, and reinvest
the savings in other initiatives.
Our electronic warfare SMEs are
responsible for programming the
electronic attack and electronic support
simulators used in training scenarios.
CSC also provides specialist electronic
warfare presentations to Principal
Warfare Officers, as well as basic,
intermediate and advanced operator
training courses at HMAS Watson.

CSC provide the Navy with electronic

support training. CSC also provides
maintenance support for the ANZAC
Ships Project Office in Rockingham,
Western Australia, and the ANZAC Ship
Combat System Simulator in Sydney,
New South Wales. Other suppliers
to the Royal Australian Navy also use
CSC-supported simulators to test their
combat systems.
In 1990, the Royal Australian Navy
commissioned CSC to build three
training simulators.

Simulators allow trainees to experience
challenging situations at sea, from bad
weather to enemy action, and learn
how to respond. Serving officers and
crew also use simulators to practise
innovative tactical responses and
learn how to use new or upgraded
equipment.
