Abstract. Modelling and Simulation (M&S) has had a profound impact on
military training. Synthetic Environments replace the physical battlefield, equipment and
environmental conditions. Semi-automated forces such as blue, red and white
forces augment the interactive domains. While simulation-based training has been
somewhat embraced as an acceptable alternative to utilising the real
equipment or the conduct of major exercises, the underlying scientific
principles of system abstraction, specification, development and validation have yet
to be completely identified, defined and institutionalised as an engineering
practice or academic discipline. This creates the essence of the
shroud that covers this complex area of simulation. While we
may possibly have faith in the entity the shroud covers,
we need to reduce the semantic quagmire and the elevated
expectations and underscore the faith with fact. This paper presents
the current state of simulation as both a science and
enabling technology for training.
