NSC has over 20 years’ experience in the design, development and support of computer-based wargames using constructive and virtual simulations.

At the theatre-level NSC has developed the Joint Operational Command And Staff Training System (JOCASTS) supporting the UK Joint Services Command and Staff College.

For Brigade and below the NSC CONTACT range of constructive training systems is in use by the British Army and other NATO nations. These simulations extend beyond traditional warfare to address issues such as Peace Support Operations and asymmetric warfare.

NSC also provides the UK’s first major in-service training system using commercial games technology, Operational Joint Combat Virtual Environment (OpJCOVE) which delivers pre-deployment Convoy Training for the British Army.

NSC also has extensive experience in OOTW modelling for the UK MoD and NATO.  NSC supports NC3A and Dstl in the development of their OOTW simulation models: GAMMA and DIAMOND.

NSC provides ongoing development and support for both models, which represent a range of activities that may be encountered during Operations Other Than War (OOTW).  The models are leading analytical computer models for assessing Peace Support Operations PSO.

National Security and Resilience is a key area where the NSC’s collective training and Modelling and Simulation experience has been applied to the civil sector in particular providing Gold Level Crisis Management training for the UK Cabinet Office.

Support activities include exercise planning, scenario development and generation, military and doctrinal advice, and exercise support to single service and joint operations at a number of military training establishments worldwide.
