VIRTUAL TRAINING TODAY FOR THE MOD OF TOMORROW
The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has developed a new virtual training concept that will enable the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to train its armed forces to combat-ready proficiency. At the same time it will reduce the capability, cost and environmental impact of using valuable equipment, which would otherwise be deployed on military operations.
Over the last 12 years, a Dstl team has been developing a series of ground breaking war-gaming simulations for MOD training needs. This work has subsequently evolved into the Defence Operational Training Capability – Air (DOTC(A)) research programme, sponsored by Capability Theatre Airspace (CAP (TA)).
Ebb Smith, from Dstl, says: "The aim of DOTC(A) is to provide the Air element of a pan-defence training capability for MOD by developing a simulation and synthetic training environment, which is both efficient and cost-effective." The research programme is currently focused on the investigation of Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) training.
