How is Modelling and Simulation Meeting the Defence Challenges out to 2015? (Comment la modelisation et la simulation repondent-elles aux defis de la Defense jusqu'en 2015?)
Abstract
The importance of Modelling and Simulation (M&S) and its impact on training, experimentation and analysis in NATO and Nations is well recognised and continues to grow. The 2008 M&S Symposium addressed the question "How is Modelling and Simulation meeting the Defence Challenges out to 2015?" The answer derived from papers, presentations, and discussions can be summarized as follows: NATO and the Nations have a strong engineering foundation. M&S applications are broadly utilized and standard based infrastructures have been established. However, the conceptual basis for M&S applications is shifting with the new tasks and operations the armed forces are challenged with. In particular the continuous shift towards command and control for multinational military civilian interagency operations requires a new level of conceptual agility and technical adaptivity. The papers presented during this symposium contributed to understanding the state-of-the-art applications, leading-edge research efforts, and conceptual contributions supporting the conclusion that NATO is willing and capable to face this new and complex challenge
