Modernizing Renewable Operations with Real-Time Control Room Collaboration
The U.S. Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC) is the core of naval innovation, responsible for developing concepts, policies, and research to directly support the fleet. As the command prepared to move into its new 85,000-square-foot headquarters at the Norfolk Naval Base, they required a state-of-the-art solution to equip their 10,000-square-foot Navy Center for Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NCAMS) facility. The new technology needed to provide robust command and control capabilities and seamless collaboration for critical training and analysis.
The U.S. Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC) selected Cyviz to outfit its new headquarters with advanced collaboration and visualization technology. Two solutions were implemented: a large-scale, 6-channel display for a VIP theater room and a 2-channel display for the executive conference room. These systems provide high-resolution viewing of complex simulations and secure video conferencing, enabling the NWDC to conduct cost-efficient, continuous training and analysis with other naval organizations.
The NWDC’s move to a new headquarters presented an opportunity to upgrade its technology to support its mission of “Game-Changing Innovations.” The organization needed a solution for its Navy Center for Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NCAMS) that could provide 24/7 command and control capabilities, support advanced modeling and simulation, and facilitate secure collaboration with various naval entities. The technology had to be intuitive, reliable, and capable of displaying high-resolution data from multiple sources simultaneously.
Following a demonstration at the Cyviz Technology Center, NWDC chose to implement two distinct Cyviz solutions at the NCAMS facility. For the main 24-seat theater room, a 6-channel, 9.4-megapixel R609 seamless glass display was installed, serving as a VIP viewing area for large-scale naval simulation exercises. In the director’s conference room, a 2-channel, 4.3-megapixel F204 flexible screen was implemented to provide a private environment for viewing simulations. Both systems were designed to support multiple video conferences at various security levels, allowing for the viewing of data, live satellite feeds, and other documents for true collaboration.
The implementation of Cyviz technology has empowered NWDC to fulfill its mission and has resulted in significant operational improvements:
Enhanced Training: The new systems enable cost-efficient training through Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) and the Sea Trial Program, allowing the Navy to model realistic forces and improve doctrine, tactics, and procedures.
Improved Decision-Making: Instant access to critical, high-resolution information allows NWDC to make more accurate decisions and provide valuable recommendations to the Navy’s Continuous Training Environment.
Seamless Collaboration: The technology supports multi-level secure video conferencing and data sharing, fostering collaboration with other organizations like the 2nd Fleet, Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC).
“Game-Changing Innovations”: With its new space and state-of-the-art technology, NWDC is fully equipped to live up to its motto and drive continuous improvement across the entire U.S. Navy.
With our high-end visualization and unified communication systems, Cyviz control rooms can be used for national intelligence, space programs and other special operations.
