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.
According to NSWCDD, ‘OSM is a new framework allowing scientists, warfighters, and college students to model ideas and develop wargaming scenarios seamlessly. The MAST architecture, built on the OSM framework, offers a human-in-the-loop wargaming capability'.
