Human factors? simulation models military relevance
Authors: Francesco Nasca, Alberto Tremori
Abstract
Over the last two decades, military forces have been deployed to areas where the history, culture, language, religious and tribal or family dynamics have played a key role in shaping military operations. In 2010, the revision of NATO strategic concept triggered a new cycle of the NATO Defence Planning Process, which identified the need for an efficient co-ordination of the Human Environment activities as one of the most critical capability shortfall for every mission type. This year, the University of Genoa (ITA) started, in conjunction with an industrial consortium and with the support of NATO M&S Centre of Excellence, a research programme aimed at developing for the Italian Defence new simulation models, that take into account human factors (i.e. culture, jeopardy, fear, aggression, etc.) in order to support the military decision makers in Theater of Operations. This new tool should significantly contribute to fill in the NATO capability gap.
