AbstractArmed forces around the world have more and more sophisticated weapon systems, sensors and C2 systems. The training on these systems is very demanding and exploitation of simulation technologies is a key requirement for successful personnel preparation. The area of ground-based air defence (GBAD) is not different. However, the special needs for GBAD training require also special simulation technology. This paper presents key attributes of such a simulation technology and brings one of possible solution (concept) for effective and cheap GBAD personnel training and education.KeywordsAir defenceModelling and simulationGround based air defence
