Guide to Modelling & Simulation (M&S) for NATO Network-Enabled Capability ('M&S for NNEC') (Guide de la modelisation et de la simulation (M&S) pour las NATO network-enabled capability (M&S de la NNEC))

摘要

A fundamental objective of NATO and one of the highest priorities of the NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is to take full advantage of Network-Enabled Capabilities (NEC) to build a robust, globally interconnected network environment for data sharing. This Guide discusses how modelling and simulation (M&S) can be applied to NEC, from Concept Development and Experimentation (CD&E), Acquisition, Training, Exercises, and Operations, to enhance military effectiveness and transformation, and prepare for the security challenges of the future. This Guide structures 'Best Practices' of M&S around 'Key Principles' in each chapter, provides real world Case Studies, and offers evidence-based advice to achieve the following objectives: (1) Ensure that allied defence capability programs are truly able to support future force capabilities from CD&E, Material Acquisition, Training, Exercises to Operations; (2) Document the principles in real world practice, for both military capabilities and DAT capabilities; and (3) Provide evidence-based advice on how a nascent NEC can be influenced by M&S from CD&E to Operations. This Report documents 24 Key M&S Principles in support of NATO Network-Enabled Capabilities (NNEC) of interest to Armed Forces, Governments, Industry and Academia, concerned about military and Defence Against Terrorism capabilities.
