Vedette’s Multi-Domain Wargame System (MWS) is a powerful tool for preparing professional military staff to navigate the complexities of modern, multi-domain warfare. The ability to integrate real-world data, test operational plans, and facilitate in-depth analysis makes it an essential asset for both educational and operational purposes.
Realism in Action
MWS incorporates the complexities of modern warfare, including the integration of cyber warfare, electronic warfare, and space operations. The system models the strategic, operational, and tactical interactions across domains, requiring participants to make timely decisions while navigating uncertainties and rapidly evolving threats. Multi-domain operations are simulated to test interoperability, command structure effectiveness, and resource allocation under stress. Realism is further enhanced by the integration of logistical and real-time data that directly impacts operational success.
Key Features
Scalable Scenarios:
Supports operations from Battlegroup to Army Group, Ship to Task Group, and Squadron to Air Group, catering to diverse training and educational requirements.
Customisable Rules:
Core rules serve as the foundation, while optional rules introduce cyber, space, information operations, Special Forces, and more.
Sequence:
Models dynamic real-world environments by alternating initiative and responses.
Fog of War:
Real-world uncertainties and intelligence challenges.
Decision-Making:
Challenges participants to balance short-term tactical decisions with overarching operational and strategic planning.
Force Elements:
Represent combat units, command elements, and support assets with unique six-factor modelling to cover Personnel, Equipment, Leadership, Logistics, Morale, and Training.
Physical Aids:
Includes Quick-Start Guides, Scenario Instructions, and detailed Digital Player Aids for streamlined gameplay.
What to expect
Plan:
Develop strategies that incorporate a full spectrum of multi-domain capabilities, balancing priorities across air, land, sea, space, and cyber.
Manage:
Oversee logistics, resources, and C2, ensuring timely and efficient deployment of assets across multiple domains.
Simulate:
Engage in dynamic, multi-domain combat, where each decision can have cascading effects across other domains.
Evaluate:
Use simulation outcomes to assess decisions, refine tactics, and identify potential operational flaws in both short- and long-term strategies.
Application and Utility
MWS is tailored for military and government agencies requiring comprehensive decision support. It is also ideal for professional wargaming, staff development, training exercises, and operational planning. The system is highly suited for environments where the possible consequences of high-stakes decisions need to be explored and evaluated across multiple domains before actual deployment. The use of scalable real-world maps allows for application to any region in the world without specialist development.
