Modern approaches to project management in the training of Naval officers. Use of simulation technologies

This chapter of the monograph is dedicated to project management in the military sector, using the example of a virtual project for the training of military officer-navigators. In the context of modern military conflicts, where the demands on the training of military specialists have increased significantly, the introduction of advanced technologies is a key factor for ensuring effective training. This project utilizes VSTEP (NAUTIS) and KILO-VASCO simulation platforms, providing realistic training for officers in a virtual environment. These platforms allow for exercises in scenarios that closely replicate real combat conditions. The chapter examines key aspects of project management, such as planning, resource management, risk management, and the integration of virtual technologies into the training process. Additionally, the effectiveness of the project is evaluated, and its development prospects are outlined. This experience represents a valuable example of an innovative approach to military training in Ukraine, which may also be beneficial to other countries facing similar challenges.
