Modelling, simulation and simulator integration contributing to decision-making and training

Detailed Call Description

Simulation developers have produced various types of simulator and simulations. The challenge is to develop a flexible, scalable, on-demand simulation capability that can integrate legacy and new systems, a framework that integrate several simulators (of different types) or simulators’ components (of different types) and should also contain command and control (C2), C4I74 and Tactical Data Link assets in a unique platform and to foster the interoperability among them. In particular, the solution should rely on the Modelling & Simulation as a Service concept (MSaaS), to allow deployment of national-specific as well as EU-wide federation of simulation systems across Europe.

In our rapidly changing environment modelling and simulation (M&S) solutions need to enable decision making, evaluation of course of action by providing faster and more accurate information. The complexity of today’s threats is showing the limitations of today’s simulation systems in terms of number of entities being simulated, resolution and fidelity of the terrain and infrastructure and domains supported as well as their interoperability.

Additionally, it must enhance the capabilities and readiness of forces in the European context.
