abstract = "Defence in both the UK and the US is committed to
innovate in order to stay ahead. This implies the need
for supporting analytical tools at least as adaptive in
their focus as the potential change to the military
system of systems that such innovation may suggest.
Current approaches to modelling and simulation (M&S)
produce monolithic, user scripted, models that are not
well suited to rapidly assessing innovative ways of
operating. In the UK a simulation tool set has been
developed to provide the necessary adaptability,
enabling new simulations to be rapidly produced. This
toolset contains a modular mission planner to automate
generation of courses of action in what are potentially
very different ways of doing business.",
