CH-47F Chinook joins BlueRoom simulator fleet

BlueRoom, an Australian simulation training company, has unveiled an advanced addition to its mixed reality (MR) suite: the CH-47F Chinook. The new training environment offers enhanced realism and complexity, aimed at elevating the preparedness of air medical teams.

CH-47F Chinook: immersive air medical evacuation training

BlueRoom’s new CH-47F Chinook simulation brings one of the world’s most renowned heavy-lift helicopters to life in mixed reality. Developed for high-fidelity training, this environment enables medics, flight crews, and combat support teams to rehearse complex casualty evacuation and in-flight care in a fully immersive, mission-ready setting.

Key features include:

• Authentic CH-47F interior – a true-to-scale replica of the helicopter’s cabin, accurately reproducing layout, design, and operational features
• Dynamic scenario training – supports realistic drills for casualty evacuation, en-route care, and coordination under high-pressure conditions
• Mission control integration – trainers can monitor participant biometrics such as stress and cognitive load, adjusting scenarios in real time to simulate unpredictable field conditions.

These updates are part of BlueRoom’s continued mission to deliver cutting-edge MR solutions that help save lives by preparing medical teams for the realities of combat and disaster response.

The AirMed&Rescue team recently investigated whether the trend in training towards mixed and virtual reality could be matched in years to come by the adoption of artificial intelligence.
