CAE supports development of Quantico wargaming centre

BAE Systems has picked CAE USA Mission Solutions as a subcontractor to support the prototype development of a new Wargaming Center to be built at Marine Corps Base Quantico.

BAE Systems is one of three prime contractors selected for an 18-month cloud modelling and simulation development phase that will leverage a range of advanced digital technologies, including AI, game theory, predictive data analytics and multi-domain synthetic environments. 

The objective is to provide the USMC with a more immersive and data-driven synthetic environment to be used for evaluating and analysing capability development, operational plans, and wargaming processes.

CAE USA Mission Solutions will provide simulation expertise and synthetic environment development services, including weather modelling, terrain generation and 3D data visualisation. 

‘The Marine Corps Wargaming Center is yet another example of our military services beginning to harness the power of digital technologies and synthetic environments for planning, analysis, training and decision support,” said Ray Duquette, president and general manager of CAE USA.
