(L-R) HMA Ships Sirius, Arunta, Stuart and Hobart unite off the east coast of Australia on their way to Bass Strait and the start of Fleet Certification Period 2020 (FCP20).
Navy’s ability to exercise multiple ships, submarines and aircraft during the Fleet Certification Period 2020 has benefitted from the ability to train in complex scenarios and tactics in a simulated environment, Navy Daily reports.
Prior to the Fleet sailing to Bass Strait for the sea phase of FCP20 this week, Maritime Task Group staff conducted a period of deliberate planning and war gaming followed by a week of synthetic exercises at the Navy Synthetic Warfighting Centre at HMAS Watson in Sydney.
