UK Strategic Command's Defence Modelling and Simulation Office
(DMSO) has awarded a contract for the supply of Command
Professional Edition (Command PE) software for Defence
users.
The software, developed by Matrix Pro Sims, is used for wargaming
and analysis at the operational level. This new tool gives users
in Defence the ability to test ideas and is particularly valuable
for Strategic Command's new Defence Experimentation and Wargaming
Hub in Portsmouth.
Command PE allows users to simulate every air and naval
engagement from post-World War II to the present day and beyond.
Working from a vast open-source database of military hardware and
capabilities means simulations of even the most complex
operations are realistic and accurate. No two runs through the
same scenario are the same, helping users understand the
volatility and unpredictability of conflict.
Crucially, as an originally commercial game turned wargaming
software package, Command PE is straightforward to learn and
operate.
In addition to the maritime, land, and air domains, Command PE
can model space assets in their known orbits, as well as cyber
capabilities by incorporating the degradation or disablement of
aspects such as communications or sensors.
This investment will help our people across Defence with
training, education, and analysis. Command PE will also allow for
greater integration with international partners, allowing for
exchange of knowledge and ideas, and joint wargaming and
analysis.
