Overview
What you will study
On completion of the War Gaming and Combat Modelling course offered by Cranfield University you will be able to:
- Critically appraise the full range of war games and combat simulations and apply them to defence problem,
- Use the deterministic and stochastic Lanchester equations to represent combat between both homogeneous and heterogeneous forces,
- Use interactive computer based representations of military operations,
- Explain how the different methods of representing the operations of military forces are used in the training, testing and assessment of those forces and their equipment.
