Buffalo Computer Graphics (BCG) has reported that it has upgraded the technology used by two of its existing customers for radar training and simulation.
The River School in Memphis, Tennessee, received laptops preloaded with BCG’s simulation software. They will be used alongside BCG’s PCS-250 Portable Radar Stimulator and four Furuno Radars for portable training at various locations around the country.
Elsewhere, Columbia Pacific Maritime in Portland, Oregon, has expanded its radar simulation capabilities by adding a Tabletop Steering Console and BCG’s Virtual Steering Software.
BCG says the upgrade will provide students with the ability to control their own ship’s heading and speed as well as providing Auto Pilot capability and visual indicators of the vessel’s operating parameters.
