Maritime Rescue Simulation Platform (SUMO)
Main activity
Nautical and aeronautical simulation platform. This simulation platform is intended for helicopter rescue and rescue at sea. It provides a highly realistic environment which enables a medical intervention team to work in situations which are dangerous, confined (helicopter rescue and rescue at sea) and unpleasant (moving boat, seasickness, disagreeable odours, etc.).
The platform provides a high level of immersion: it reproduces various vibrations and movements, very similar to those of a ship at sea or a helicopter in flight (it even recreates real weather conditions), to ensure the sensation and movement are as realistic as possible.
The movement is accompanied by sound effects (to represent the sound of wind and waves), odours (the smell of marine diesel, fish, etc.), and a hyper-realistic visual environment (220-degree visualisation of the state of the sea and the sky).
This platform is the only one of its kind in Europe. It facilitates skills training, automation exercises for technical/medical procedures, training in managing complex rescue situations, behaviour analysis in crisis situations, etc.

Description
Aimed at:
Multi-disciplinary teams from non-medical backgrounds (startups, SMEs and micro-enterprises, big companies, public institutions, local authorities, etc.).
Learning objectives:
- To provide coaching for team cohesion, collective intelligence
- To participate in scenarios (crisis management, conflict management, handling people in distress) followed by systematic debriefings
- To identify a life-threatening situation: participation in a scenario and basic theory
- To optimise patient handling and monitoring in emergency situations while waiting for a medical professional to arrive
- To participate in a first responder workshop (emergency scenario reconstructions, managing specific case studies)
