Full Mission Bridge Trainer
The Full mission bridge trainer (FMBT) was a collaborative success among the U.S. Navy, Mobile Concepts, Northrup Grumman and SwiftShips. Each carried out its part of the process to produce an end product that featured the bridge of a Navy vessel with simulated navigation and operational training.
The U.S. Navy shipped us 2 empty shipping containers that needed to be repurposed to house this “mobile classroom.” Part of the repurposing included fabricating a system that would allow the 2 containers to be conjoined into one large classroom after being transported to the training site.
This highly spec-driven project was completed on the time sensitive deadline given.
