6. MRTS 3D® Command Feedback
CAPT H. Rankin, Commanding Officer, Naval Air Technical Training Center
“MRTS 3D technology is a game-changer for new accession and Fleet students… NATTC fully supports the MRTS 3D training development for the entire CNATT domain… one of the most versatile training systems ever demonstrated… has the capability to meet the readiness needs of all aviation courses of instruction.”
CDR D. Grogan, Executive Officer, Naval Submarine School
MRTS 3D “is a superior training system over the FPS (Front Panel Simulator) and NAVSUBSCHOL does not intend on repairing the FPS.”
CAPT K. M. Byrne, Commanding Officer, Naval Nuclear Power Training Command
“The Multipurpose Reconfigurable Training System (MRTS) 3D at NAWCTSD is an impressive virtual training system that immerses students in a high-fidelity training scenario. MRTS 3D is capable of simulating complex systems and could be used to execute a variety of functions, such as performing a maintenance procedure or reactor startup. The portability, flexibility, and short development timeline for MRTS 3D applications make it a good fit for application in both NFAS and NPS.”
