M&S is an Important tool in the development and use of uncrewed systems
The use of modelling and simulation (M&S) is relevant to the development and use of uncrewed systems in naval operations discussed in the article on “Royal United Services Institute“.
Here are some ways in which M&S can support to understand such emerging technology:
- Testing and evaluation: M&S can be used to test and evaluate in various scenarios and conditions, including simulated naval operations. This allows for a risk-free environment to test the capabilities and limitations of uncrewed systems before they are deployed in real-world operations.
- Concept development: M&S can be used to develop and evaluate new operational concepts and tactics for the use of uncrewed systems in naval operations. This helps to ensure that uncrewed systems are used effectively and efficiently.
- Training: M&S can be used to provide training for personnel who will be operating uncrewed systems in naval operations. This includes training on the use of uncrewed systems and the development of tactics and procedures.
- System integration: M&S can be used to test the integration of uncrewed systems with other systems, including crewed ships and other platforms. This helps to ensure that uncrewed systems can be effectively integrated into existing naval operations.
Overall, M&S is an important tool in the development and use of uncrewed systems in naval operations. It allows for the testing and evaluation of uncrewed systems, the development of operational concepts and tactics, and the training of personnel. The use of M&S can help to ensure that uncrewed systems are used effectively and efficiently in naval operations.
