What you will learn

On successful completion of this course, you will be able to demonstrate a systematic knowledge of the utility of modelling and simulation on defence systems acquisition: 

• Explain and apply the general principles of Modelling and Simulation (M&S) and the main components of M&S systems,
• Identify the main organisations involved in M&S for Defence,
• Discuss the importance of M&S in supporting Defence decision-making, training and analysis,
• Examine the technologies of live, constructive and virtual simulation and their Defence applications,
• Recognise the context for the subjects and modules that will be addressed in the remainder of the award, with reference to their significance for application in Defence M&S.

Core content

The course will consist of a mix of formal instruction, discussion periods and hands-on exercises and demonstrations; as well as presentations by external speakers with practical experience in the development and application of simulation technology. 

Course topics include:

• The general principles of modelling and simulation,
