Volume 1 Part 3Introduction to Simulation

• Purpose
• Provides a basic introduction to
  non-simulationists on simulation terms and
  concepts. It is a clear and simple guide to
  simulation that includes user friendly pictures
  and diagrams to aid in the understanding of
  simulation in the Defence environment.

15
Volume 1 Part 4Defence Simulation Benefits Guide

• Purpose
• Assists Defence by
• Providing assistance and guidance to the broader
  Defence community for them to justify the
  investment in more specific simulation
  activities.
• Providing useful case studies and examples that
  Defence may be able to re-use.
• Identifying limitations and risks, such that
  users dont try and use simulation
  inappropriately.

17
Volume 1 Part 5Defence Simulation Glossary

• Purpose
• Provides a source of simulation acronyms,
  terms and definitions used in the Australian
  Department of Defence.

18
Volume 1 Part 6Simulation Defence Capability

• Purpose
• Explains the contribution of simulation to
  Defence capability.

19
Volume 1 Part 7Defence Simulation Proposal Guide

• Purpose
• Assists the developers of simulation
  proposals, and those reviewing and assessing
  those proposals, to establish clearly how the
  simulation will enhance capability, save
  resources or reduce risk to develop, train for,
  prepare for and test military options for
  Government.
