Course summary
The course addresses the design, development, procurement, use and management of models and simulations for applications in experimentation, training, testing, analysis and assessment of military forces, systems and equipment. The application of modelling and simulation continues to enhance and transform both systems development and training. It allows representation of increasingly complex equipment, systems and scenarios for the purposes of decision support and helps to reduce wear on live equipment and on test and training areas.
Modules
Compulsory modules: Introductory studies; foundations of modelling and simulation; networked and distributed simulation; discrete and continuous simulation; war gaming and combat modelling; computer graphics; experimentation analysis and trials for simulation; weapon system performance assessment; intelligent systems; networked and distributed simulation exercise; advanced module 1; advanced module 2; advanced module 3.
Assessment method
Assessment is 50% by coursework, 10% by exam and 40% thesis/dissertation
