Google’s Play Marketplace, formerly known as the Android Marketplace, is host to the game where it can be downloaded simply by searching for ‘Boarders Ahoy’ in the ‘Apps’ section of Play on any Android mobile or tablet device.

The finished serious game has also been previously deployed to standalone PCs and the Web, but the new mobile version of the game marks NATO’s continuing commitment to remain on the cutting edge of technology developments whilst showcasing best practices to its member countries.

Lee Rushworth, a spokesman for Caspian Learning said, “Developing such an effective virtual training scenario and then allowing users to download it from the web to their personal mobile devices or tablets is a great breakthrough for training.
