Space, Wargames and Displays

Abstract

There is a need to enhance the introduction of space systems into the professional military education (PME) system of the Air Force. This study recommends what to incorporate; how to incorporate it; and in particular, how to display it. Displays can help students understand the three dimensional aspects of space activities. Wargames acquaint the students with both the capabilities and limitations of space systems; and wargames can illustrate how much we depend on space systems for the conduct of war on earth. War in space may be on the horizon, and new simulation tools are needed to study the doctrines and strategies required to meet the challenge. This study analyzes the needs of three different audiences in the PME environment; and recommends an approach for the development of wargames and simulation tools for each with an emphasis on displays.
