Paris, France – The NATO Modelling & Simulation Centre of Excellence is supporting “Wargaming Initiative for NATO ’22 – WIN 22” event on the 18th and 19th October in Paris. The event started as a cooperation of Italy and France. Considering the importance of topics, the NATO Audacious Wargaming Team from HQ SACT and NATO’s Innovation Hub strongly supported the WIN event. After high level opening remarks from Italy, France and HQ SACT, the event started with several practical wargaming sessions, panels and discussions. NATO M&S COE is supporting with one booth and wargames on both days. In this context, M&S COE staff is using wargame demos which are based on “Enhanced LUNA Warrior Wargame” and already available on our Wargaming Interactive Scenario Digital Overlay Model (WISDOM). The scenarios are designed to be used for mission planning purposes and can also be used for flight crew training. Even WISDOM is utilized in an in-person setup during this event, it has been developed to support fully distributed wargaming environments and can be applied in this way on other occasions.
