This unit describes the knowledge and skills required to apply knowledge of Simulator Systems and their Architecture.It includes demonstrating and applying knowledge of simulation history, the benefits of simulator systems in training and operations, the building blocks of a simulator and the types of simulator systems. It also includes applying knowledge of simulator systems connectivity standards and their security.In the context of this unit, simulator systems are used to replicate land, air, sea and undersea systems to facilitate training and operations. Simulator systems may include desktop trainers, procedural trainers, virtual reality trainers and complex simulators. This unit applies to those working in the simulator management field and was developed for people who manage maintenance, maintenance teams, procurement and simulation projects.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those relating to simulation standards and International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) standards.Those undertaking this unit would work independently, or as part of a team, with minimal supervision, while performing tasks, including maintenance management, in a limited range of contexts. They would use discretion and judgement and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
