Simulation
● Ever increasing role
● Electronic warfare
● Design, acquisition, doctrine, planning
● Increasing complexity
● Closer to the end user
● Need to have impact
● Interpretation linked to presentation
● Graphs and plots versus animated 3D view
“... foreseen that modelling and simulation would become part of squadron life...” – John Monk
