Abstract

In this document, a study about the requirements of a military simulator for officer training is presented. In order to understand what those requirements are, we had interviews with military officers responsible for officer training and analyzed wargames existent in the market, including tabletop games, video games and military simulators in use by military forces. The study results in a comparison between the different military simulators in the market and a set of requirements for a military simulator. We also studied existing commercial frameworks which are low-priced or free, and allow for the development of a constructive simulator. Uniting both analyses, a proposal for a military simulator is presented. The proposed system has the advantage of being more affordable than existing military simulators. To demonstrate the viability of using one of the studied frameworks to develop a military simulator, a prototype was developed and tested. From their results, it can be concluded that the developed model can fulfill the proposed objectives.
