Eric Smith, deputy commandant for combat development and integration at USMC, said establishing the wargaming center at Quantico will enable Marines to access nearby facilities such as the Marine Corps University, Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) and USMC Warfighting Laboratory. The 100K-square foot facility will contain gaming classrooms, meeting rooms and other spaces to support wargaming operations such as remote virtual activities that simulate real-life scenarios on the battlefield. USMC said Tuesday that the agency is working with industry on the proposed Marine Corps Wargaming and Analysis Center that will be located within Marine Corps Base Quantico and house over 12 wargames annually. Marine Corps (USMC) plans to establish a wargaming center for simulated training exercises in Quantico, Va., over the next four years. ‘The Marine Corps Wargaming Center is yet another example of our military services beginning to harness the power of digital technologies and synthetic environments for planning, analysis, training and decision support,” said Ray Duquette, president and general manager of CAE USA.The U.S. The objective is to provide the USMC with a more immersive and data-driven synthetic environment to be used for evaluating and analysing capability development, operational plans, and wargaming processes.ĬAE USA Mission Solutions will provide simulation expertise and synthetic environment development services, including weather modelling, terrain generation and 3D data visualisation.

BAE Systems has picked CAE USA Mission Solutions as a subcontractor to support the prototype development of a new Wargaming Center to be built at Marine Corps Base Quantico.īAE Systems is one of three prime contractors selected for an 18-month cloud modelling and simulation development phase that will leverage a range of advanced digital technologies, including AI, game theory, predictive data analytics and multi-domain synthetic environments.
