NetSim can help mitigate risk and liability by putting better prepared crews to sea. Combined with flexible training curriculum, NetSim delivers crew-level training on the setup and use of vessel equipment, navigation and pilotage, risk assessment, and search and rescue procedures. NetSim's integrated navigation features include:

NetSim incorporates an unstabilized radar. Crews can use the radar to practice navigation and collision avoidance. Radar functionality includes variable range markers, electronic bearing lines, gain control, sea clutter and rain filters.

NetSim incorporates a north-up chartplotter. Crews can use the chart plotter to practice navigation and route planning. Chartplotter functionality includes GPS integration and waypoints and route setting.

NetSim incorporates a standard GPS configuration. Crews can use the GPS to practice position fixing. GPS functionality includes road, bearing and time-to-go displays as well as HDOP, Datum, GPS & DGPS position accuracy.

NetSim incorporates a magnetic compass as an independent navigation tool. Crews can rely on the magnetic compass should the training scenario simulate GPS failure.

NetSim can be used to develop a trainee's ability to plan, assess, and carry-out missions such as target interception and search techniques
