I had been thinking of writing something useful and spreading what i believe needs lot of attention. From futuristic point, some ideas and terms are attracting research and becoming multi billion dollar industry.
One of them is war gaming!!
Lets see it from military point of view
NATO defines the term
war gaming as “a simulation of a military operation, by whatever means, using
specific rules, data, methods and procedures”. A
typical war game involves representation of a combat situation being played by
two sided adversarial players. Although by NATO definition a war game is not a
tool for analysis rather than a tool for determining possible outcome of a laid
down scenario. However, since the method itself provides opportunity of
interaction between players acting as opposing forces, the outcome of these
interactions can be studied for tailoring to own requirement. Therefore, a war
game can be used to enable decision makers in understanding dynamics of war and
in optimizing the decision making process of planning, acquisition, deployment
and execution phases of a combat. It is this unique
replication of near realism which simulates the outcome and answers our
anticipation of ‘what will happen in battlefield’. Unlike other Operational Research techniques,
war gaming simulates employment of our weapon mix in a given combat situation
where the results can be analyzed to determine causes of win or loss.
Simply it is just like any other computer based game such as Street Fighter, Taken, FIFA and so on. So they actually prepare you for real time scenarios.
