NORFOLK, Va – Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) is exploring the use of virtual reality (VR) technology to enhance training for suicide prevention and sexual assault prevention. The training immerses Sailors in realistic, interactive training scenarios designed to improve their response to these critical issues.
Dr. John P. Cordle, a human factors engineer at Commander, Naval Surface Forces Atlantic (COMNAVSURFLANT) who is spearheading the initiative said, “I look at what causes stress in Sailors, what impacts their performance, fatigue, operational tempo, and that’s what got me interested in suicide prevention.”
