COI 2: The European Perspective on Battlelabs and the Role of Simulation (Room 329)

Battlelabs are used to provide insight in current and future military operations and develop new systems and operational concepts. The challenges of a complex mission environment lead to increasing use of simulation as a cost-effective technology for Battlelabs. The European Training and Simulation Association (ETSA, the European voice of the modelling, simulation, and training community) has invited representatives from several European armed forces to discuss the national vision on the use of Battlelabs and the role of Simulation. The presenters will provide an overview of current capabilities and share examples of Battlelab applications that leverage the advantages of simulation. The evolution and mid-term plans will be discussed as well as the partnerships (NATO, EDA, R&D, Industry) that are in place or desired to further develop Battlelab simulation capabilities. The ETSA special event panel session will engage with the audience on the way ahead towards interoperable Battlelabs and discuss how to engage with ETSA and leverage its partnership agreements with NTSA, EDA and Industry.
