Defence, Training & Simulation Solutions

Motion Simulators

Motion simulators replicate real-world vehicle dynamics to train operators or enhance immersive experiences in sectors like aviation, automotive, and defence. Our capabilities span high-fidelity motion platforms, hardware integration, and custom software solutions.

Elevating Defence Training with Advanced Motion Simulation

At Novatech, we are at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge motion simulation solutions tailored for defence training applications. Our innovative simulators provide realistic, immersive environments that enhance the preparedness and effectiveness of military personnel.

With simulators, trainees can experience various scenarios, including adverse weather conditions and complex manoeuvres, without the risks associated with live training exercises. This approach not only enhances safety but also ensures consistent training opportunities regardless of external factors.

Babcock Driving Simulator

Novatech developed an advanced vehicle driving simulator designed to replicate real-world, on-road and off-road driving conditions in a fully immersive environment.

Simulation

VBS4 integration for dynamic real-world simulation

Motion platform

Able to replicate acceleration, breaking, and terrain response

vehicle controls

Authentic vehicle controls allowing for better training

Data Capture

Real-Time data capture for feedback systems

Built with high-performance computing at its core, the Babcock driving simulator leverages powerful simulation software and hardware acceleration to deliver ultra-realistic training experiences. From convoy driving and tactical manoeuvres to reacting under pressure in unpredictable terrain, the system provides military drivers with essential experience in a safe, repeatable environment.

Seamless Integration with VBS4

Our deep understanding of Virtual Battlespace 4 (VBS4) a comprehensive, whole-earth virtual simulation platform used widely by NATO forces, enables us to build systems that leverage its full potential. By integrating VBS4 with our motion simulator solutions, we can create highly immersive and data-rich training environments that are both scalable and scenario-flexible.

Whether simulating land, sea, or air operations, our systems can be configured to support mission rehearsal, equipment familiarisation, team coordination, and tactical decision-making all within a VBS4 enabled ecosystem.

At Novatech, we specialise in delivering high-performance motion simulation systems and training platforms that meet the complex needs of modern defence environments. Our solutions are designed to provide realistic, immersive training experiences that improve operational readiness while reducing risk and cost.

RHIB Simulator

In partnership with the University of Portsmouth and the Royal Navy’s Future Training Unit, Novatech played a key role in the development of a highly advanced Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB) Simulator a ground-breaking tool in maritime training for the Royal Naval Reserves (RNR).

Integrated with Virtual Battlespace 4 (VBS4), the simulator provides a true-to-life virtual training ground. Trainees can rehearse complex scenarios such as:

Vessel approach

Hostile vessel approach and interdiction training

adverse weather

Navigation in adverse weather and high sea states

multi-crew

Coordinated multi-crew operations training

hostile approach

Approach to unfamiliar or hostile shorelines training

The system is not only transforming how the Royal Naval Reserves train, but also providing hands-on experience for students in simulation design and defence engineering.

Commitment to Excellence in Training

With over three decades of experience in providing high-performance IT solutions, Novatech is dedicated to supporting the defence sector with reliable, innovative training tools. Our motion simulators are designed to meet the rigorous demands of military training, ensuring personnel are well-prepared for the complexities of modern operations.

By integrating advanced technologies and fostering collaborative partnerships, Novatech continues to set new standards in defence training simulation.

Beyond the hardware

Buying the hardware is just the start. With a wide range of warranty and support plans our SC cleared engineers and award-winning support team will ensure that mission critical systems are maintained to the highest level, at all times.
