Centre for Simulation and Analytics

The Centre for Simulation and Analytics brings together expertise in

  • operational analysis,
  • decision analysis and judgmental assessment,
  • simulation and modelling in the form of virtual and constructive simulations
  • mathematical modeling including combat and logistical modeling
  • statistical analysis
  • across acquisition, experimentation and training. 

The Simulation and Synthetic Environment Laboratory (SSEL) is a key capability alongside the recently formed Decision Analysis and Risk Modelling Laboratory (DARMLab) provides a focus for research and teaching in those areas.

The Centre runs a postgraduate programme (MSc, diploma and certificate) with two linked themes: Defence Simulation and Modelling, and Military Operational Research.  The courses are available on both a full-time and a part-time basis.

Research and consultancy include:

  • The construction of an urban battle model for training
  • The development and application of battlefield logistics models
  • The exploration of new agent based models of conflict
  • The study of military decision making using Bayesian Belief networks
  • The delivery of a series of NATO lectures on Modelling and Simulation
  • Sensor Mix analysis for land vehicles and submarines
  • Training simulation analysis
  • Political and manual wargaming assessments
