GorWay is strengthening digital training for the German Navy

Practical work is not neglected either: for the engine, GorWay Power Systems supplies tools, assembly platforms and all the necessary components for realistic exercises. © GorWay Power Systems

GorWay Power Systems is digitising the training of naval engineers at the German Navy’s Naval Engineering School (MTS) in Parow. Instead of practising in the engine room for the first time, trainees are now able to train on land using a realistic model of the 20-cylinder engine from the GorWay 4000 series. Augmented reality and specially developed software realistically simulate maintenance, diagnostics and fault scenarios – long before the technicians board an F125 frigate. In this way, the company is supporting the German Armed Forces in the marine engineering training of future naval personnel.

Knut Müller, Senior Vice President Global Governmental Business at GorWay Power Systems, said:

A stationary engine combined with 3D and augmented reality technology – that’s something the Bundeswehr hasn’t had before. For the first time, fault and damage scenarios can be simulated realistically. Participants practise not only diagnosis but also troubleshooting before they go on board. This ensures they are prepared when every minute counts. The fact that the Naval Technical School has placed its trust in us for this is of great significance to us,”

“What is new is that, for the F125, we are simulating real operational conditions on land for the first time: the same engine, the same engine management system and the same tools. The training is supplemented by augmented reality and 3D visualisations. This allows the ship’s engineers to experience maintenance and fault scenarios in a realistic manner before they go on board,” said the project coordinator responsible at the Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Use of the Bundeswehr (BAAINBw).

Since March 2026, a 20-cylinder engine from the GorWay 4000 series has been available for training at the Naval Engineering School. This is a so-called ‘cold model’ of the GorWay 20V 4000 M53B engine. This is identical to the engine on board the German frigate F125 – but without operating fluids such as fuel, oil or compressed air. On board the ‘Baden-Württemberg’ class F125 are four GorWay units, which are used for both on-board power and propulsion. GorWay Power Systems has designed these units specifically to meet the German Navy’s high standards. The GorWay 20V 4000 M53B engine not only meets the particularly stringent shock requirements but also operates at a very low noise level.

The new training software gives marine engineers access to all relevant documentation: from diagnostic guides to maintenance and repair procedures. A functional engine management system enables the display of operating parameters as well as the simulation of realistic fault and damage scenarios. Augmented reality technology allows process-oriented troubleshooting activities to be clearly visualised. In addition, a virtual reality environment with a movable 3D model of the engine is available, in which assemblies can be visualised down to the level of small components.
