How can they, your design involves sensors that detect ships on the water, they can use a simulator all they like it just ain't the real world, I have no idea what they would do to go down that road, my guess is they will leech the tech from the military and their unmanned programmes.

They would need terrain mapping radar. The simulator would not test that. The simulator would be used to test how the computer handled emergencies.
