About this course

This short course is a module from the Defence Simulation and Modelling MSc. It is delivered by Cranfield University on behalf of the Technology School, Defence Academy.

The  elements of the course are:  
  • experimental design including sampling and ethical considerations
  • methodology and analysis of statistical data (Inference, ANOVA and Regression)
  • definition, execution, analysis, present and critical assessment of simulation based experimentation and trials reports
  • visiting speakers from MOD and defence industry to include operational analysis (OA)
  • integrated test evaluation and acceptance
  • simulation experimentation

What you will learn

You will learn/develop:
  • to describe the place and utility of simulation based experimentation and trials within Defence core business
  • to critically assess the design, planning and execution of simulation based experimentation and trials and the analysis of results
  • to critically assess the impact of experimentation and trial constraints on the data collection and analysis methods used
  • using simple operational research techniques, calculate appropriate ways to combine or balance multiple variables and benefits in a simulation based experimentation and trials context
  • appropriately quantify and graph the results of an experiment or trial and statistically analyse these results in relatively simple cases
  • develop effective methods to design, perform, analyse and report a simulation based experiment or trial
