Located at CFB Esquimalt, HMCS Venture is responsible for the training and development of Naval Warfare Officers, Naval Technical Officers, and for primary leadership training of Non-Commissioned Sailors.

Our contract with HMCS Venture continues our efforts to assist in enhancing the RCN Naval Technical Officer curriculum content. Initially, our focus will be on the digitalization of training for combat systems and marine systems engineer students.

We will explore the visually immersive and interactive "digital twin" functionality of our SeaReady™ suite of solutions, demonstrating the art-of-the-possible in new training methods.

The primary objective of this contract is to provide immersive content that enhances learning and retention of new skills and knowledge. Other objectives include simplifying training, reducing costs, and increasing safety by minimizing students' interaction with hazardous physical equipment and systems. Each of these objectives are core enablers to RCN's Digital Navy Strategy.

This contract will also allow us to demonstrate that these interactive training environments will help to attract and retain new recruits, many of whom are avid gamers and already accustomed to virtual worlds. Datifex has already created a digitalized version of the RCN's seminal "Know Your Ship" training for its Halifax-class frigates.

Another important objective is to apply our technologies to digitalize and visually map a sailor's journey from recruitment to retirement. This journey is a challenging and rewarding experience, and one that respects a long tradition. Sailors and trainers alike will be able to track and manage an individual's unique blend of theoretical and practical learning throughout their career.

Datifex is proud to use our product to assist HMCS Venture in realizing the RCN's Digital Navy Strategy, digitally transforming training to better prepare the sailors for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
