PGCert Defence Simulation and Modelling

Course Overview This course provides a comprehensive examination of the design, development, and application of advanced models and simulations for modern military operations. It focuses on leveraging this technology to enhance decision-making, reduce costs, and minimize the wear on physical assets during testing and training. Students will learn to apply M&S solutions across key domains including experimentation, systems analysis, and force assessment. Key Program Highlights Explore the complete M&S lifecycle from design and procurement to management Learn to represent complex military systems and high-fidelity scenarios for critical analysis Apply M&S to reduce operational costs and extend the lifecycle of expensive live equipment Gain expertise in using simulations for experimentation, testing, and training Develop skills to provide robust decision support for military leadership and acquisition
