Issue No. 54 of POLARIS Innovation Journal focuses on how technological developments – from high-performance computing to digital twins and immersive technologies – are transforming simulation into a concrete lever for experimentation, planning and advanced training. Ample space is devoted to the Modelling & Simulation as a Service (MSaaS) paradigm, a key element in promoting interoperability, capacity sharing and cooperation within the inter-force, NATO and European contexts.
Particular attention is paid to advanced integrated Live-Virtual-Constructive Training, adaptive training ecosystems based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, and cyber resilience issues, with application examples for the simulation of complex cyber and multi-domain scenarios.
This issue of Polaris Innovation Journal therefore offers an integrated view of how Modelling & Simulation is evolving from a technical tool to a true multiplier of operational effectiveness, highlighting the value of collaboration between industry and the Armed Forces in addressing the challenges of the operational domain of the future.
