The US Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division is continuing development of its OSM/MAST tools, as adoption of the modelling and simulation (M&S) combination continues to grow.

Engineers from the US Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) have completed the design and development of the latest version of its Orchestrated Simulation through Modeling (OSM) tool alongside its associated Modeling and Simulation Toolbox (MAST) architecture.

Users can employ the patented device for various tasks, including concept modelling, scenario development, operational analysis and constructive training, specifically wargaming.
