Interview BBC World Service - Digital Planet - Military virtual and augmented reality

Presented at IT2EC Rotterdam - 25 April 2023 - In 1978, US Air Force Captain Jack Thorpe proposed a network of simulators for combat planning and execution, and this concept was later developed by DARPA in the 1980s as SIMNET (SIMulator NETworking). SIMNET eventually included 260 simulators at 11 sites in the USA and Europe including tank and aircraft simulators, and connected to a real warship and command centres in the early 1990s. Today, there is renewed interest in creating multi-domain simulation capabilities, but it is unclear if any nation has succeeded in building a persistent system similar to SIMNET that integrates live, virtual, and constructive simulations across the whole defence enterprise. The trend towards the "metaverse" may offer an opportunity for the defence sector to establish an enterprise-wide simulation infrastructure that exploits the wider trends in the metaverse and computing. This presentation examines past initiatives to build multi-domain simulation capabilities and consider the issues that may have hindered progress, and then offer a vision for the defence sector to fully realize Thorpe's 45-year-old idea through an integrated enterprise approach to networked simulation in support of all defence activities.

This paper examines aspects of the modern commercial gaming landscape that are applicable in the design and structure of military M&S systems. Two areas have been considered for analysis. First, “Architectures” - the game systems themselves, their accessibility, and exploitation of data. This includes design functions that enhance player emotional and psychological engagement through narrative and gamification, support for large numbers of concurrent players, and content and update delivery methods. Second, “Ecosystems” - which include third-party systems that enhance and supplement the gameplay experience and the methods by which the wider gaming community interacts. While the implementation of innovations in these areas is well understood, we explore whether they are being utilised to their full potential within the realm of military M&S systems, specifically for personalised training systems and decision support/planning tools. Drawing on a literature review and survey of gaming students familiar with the military, recommendations are made to inform future development of M&S systems and better accommodate the demands of a digital savvy war fighter in an era of more remote and distributed training. Hi, thanks for the opportunity to present today, I’m tom evans, I’m a masters student at staffordshire university studying ideology in serious games and with me is Anthony Hadley, a PhD student also from staffordshire university researching scenario training for disaster management, and Andy Fawkes (from the simulation & training industry). Unfortunately our co-author Steve Webley, who lectures at Staffs in military philosophy and game design, couldn’t be with us today. The aim of this presentation is to briefly highlight some of the developments in modern video games that we think are of interest to a military simulation and training audience. The games industry is staggeringly huge and continually growing, with estimated revenues regularly exceeding twice the combined total of the film and music industries. But within this giant industry, today we want to focus firstly on user familiarity with and knowledge of gaming systems, and then go on to highlight a number of technological trends and industry standards that militaries could draw upon In comparison to some existing research done by the ESA and Limelight that found that the average gamer plays a little over 6 hours a week, our own survey of both enrolled and recently graduated university students shows that in some groups that average can be over twice that amongst the more hardcore players. But from that what you should really takeaway is that not only will the next generation of warfighters will digital natives, but it’s quite likely that they will be gamers as well, and so will carry into their service many hundreds or thousands of hours of experience with these systems.

What Can We Learn From Cross-Platform Gaming?

Andy Fawkes

Presented at the RAeS Autumn 2018 Flight Simulation Conference on 14 Nov 2018. The presentation discusses why the flight simulation community might be interested in cross-platform gaming. It explains cross-platform gaming, its challenges and how it has developed. Using the Fortnite game as an example it explores the massive growth in such games and proposes that training design lessons might also be learned. It concludes with a number of questions that the flight simulation community might address given the current advances in gaming.

It’s Big Data but Where Is It?

Andy Fawkes

Big Data is regularly in the news with claims that that it will improve decision making and support the development of artificial intelligence. The defence training and simulation community could also exploit these advances, but the data that it does have is typically locked away in disparate unconnected proprietary systems and as such is not “big”. What might the opportunities and challenges be if such stovepiping was overcome?

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024

Tobias Schneck

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other? Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
