developing rapid models including
the use of spreadsheet and statistical analysis tools
documenting, maintaining and

Discrete Event Simulation (DES).
NSC has developed a wide range of wargame and other simulations
using DES techniques for a number of defence clients, using both
bespoke techniques and DES modelling packages.
System Dynamics (SD). NSC has
extensive experience in the use of all SD modelling tools (e.g.
VENSIM, Powersim and iThink).
NSC has
developed, enhanced and supported a number of models for use within
integrated OA studies. These have been for both defence and
commercial clients in the UK and abroad. Models have been used in
support of:
high-level
land-air campaign representation which allows users to simulate
and analyse a wide variety of military scenarios and strategies
a high level
aggregated representation of Peace Support Operations (PSO)
used to
support NATO’s Guidance for Operational Planning.
the tracking,
planning and scheduling of safety critical material in a highly
regulated environment
manpower
modelling environment in which analysts can rapidly assess the
long-term impact of manpower policy decisions on future force
structures (for example, recruitment, retention, length of
service)
a model use
to model aircraft and crew availability issues and their impact
on deployment and logistic supply round trip time calculations
the
assessment of the value at risk to a corporation arising from
electronic or other attack on its network and IT systems
a financial
organisation in design and implementation of a Portfolio
Management System for decision support and assessment of debts
