Providing a representation of key compartments and escape routes on the aircraft carrier, the technology ensured BAE Systems personnel, ship's staff and visitors to the Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) aircraft carriers were familiar with the ship’s layout, escape and evacuation routes. Still in use today as a fundamental part of training for these ships, those taking part also use it to familiarise with the location of key pieces of safety equipment on board.
It means those working on board the largest aircraft carriers built for the Royal Navy are fully prepared and familiar with the layout of the ships, as well escape routes and safety procedures.
John Newell, Head of QEC Class Output Management Support, said: “This innovative 3D solution can play a key role in the ongoing induction process for new joiners, a useful tool that can be forwarded in advance to embarking forces both from the UK and other nations and a necessary precursor to any international industrial workforce working on these ships worldwide.”
