Defence Simulation and Modelling PgCert at Cranfield University

This course addresses the design, development, procurement, use and management of models and simulations for applications in a defence context of experimentation, training, testing, analysis and assessment of military forces, systems and equipment. Its focus is on the battlespace and operational level, rather than the engineering level. The application of modelling and simulation continues to enhance and transform both systems development and training. It allows representation of increasingly complex equipment, systems and scenarios for the purposes of decision support and helps to reduce wear on live equipment and on test and training areas.
