MODELING AND SIMULATION facilities

Ground Combat Simulation Laboratory

Picatinny Arsenal, NJ

Operations and analysis using the GCS Laboratory can serve several purposes. The primary reason to use the distributed simulation approach is to define system requirements early in the acquisition life cycle. Candidate requirements are encoded into the simulated systems and the systems are used either in a totally simulated combined arms environment or are used in a virtual sense by live troops in real-time. In this way the pertinent requirements for the system are identified during the concept infantry operations definition stage. Thus the systems managers can avoid costly system characteristics that contribute minimally to real-world effectiveness. The GCS Team stands ready to discuss how this form of simulation may best serve your system development and simulation requirements.
