Combat Modelling and Wargaming
Defence Technical Services
CCL hold Enabling Arrangements with both Qinetiq and with Dstl to enable clients in these organisations to place tasks rapidly and with minimal contracts administration.
CCL is the UK's leading independent consultancy in Vulnerability and Lethality analysis, providing nationally recognised expertise in all aspects of warhead and fuze effectiveness modelling, design trade-offs and optimisation and associated work in model development, trials design, data analysis, target description development and related areas.
CCL also has a very strong track record in the assessment of weapon systems using engagement modelling. CCL have provided support to a very wide range of Research Programmes and Procurement Projects in, for example:
Air-to-ground anti-armour;
anti-ship missiles;
artillery systems, inc. MLRS/sensor-aided;
anti-airbase weapons;
Countermeasures and DAS systems;
mines;
anti-radar weapons;
Design and development of mathematical models;
design and development of simulations (continuous and discrete event);
research studies;
procurement studies;
COEIA's;
trials prediction and trials design
CCL provide support to higher-level studies in the development and use of combat models and wargames - from battalion to theatre level. Examples of support tasks are as follows:
- scenario analysis and generation;
- development and enhancement of combat models;
- development of table-top wargames for rapid assessment of military options;
- post-game analysis and reporting;
- use of combat models in research, optimisation and procurement studies;
- use of combat models and wargames in assessment of logistics systems;
- development and maintenance of databases of data for combat models.
CCL have substantial experience in the performance analysis and design-integration of a very wide range of sensor types:
- active and passive,
- acoustic, infrared, electromagnetic and electro-optic,
- development of target signature models,
- sensor performance prediction,
- image processing applications,
- algorithm development,
- sensor parameter optimisation,
- particle scattering,
- countermeasures.
- orbit calculations,
- remote sensing,
- real time control,
- communications,
- technology exploitation,
- risk assessment.
The above sections provide only a brief summary of CCL's skills and experience in some key areas of Defence-related studies. The firm's expertise is very wide ranging and also includes the following. Please contact us for a discussion of your requirements.
- development of special-purpose and bespoke software;
- Project Management Support and independent Project Reviews;
- Requirements Management services;
- validation and verification of models and simulations;
- trials design, trials support, trials data analysis;
- documentation and Quality Assurance services;
- Life Cycle Costing, cost-data management and project cost analysis;
- air-worthiness and safety management services (see Quality and Safety);
- research and data gathering relating to advanced and novel technologies.
