Description

Dstl have a requirement for a tool which simplifies the process of designing scenarios and generating inputs to battle models. The overarching specification is for the supplier to create a Graphical User Interface (GUI) using Unreal Engine. The GUI would allow the user to generate and inspect battle scenarios, and simulate them using the battle models operated and supported by the Strategic Systems Group (SSG).
The requirement relates to all aspects of interfacing with battle models, from creating new platforms, systems and subsystems for use within battle scenarios, through to the construction and design of battle scenarios as well as passing data to, running and viewing output from battle models.
The particular focus of this work should be on addressing the requirements to simplify the design of scenarios using pre-existing platform data, running battle models and viewing outputs. The creation of new platforms, systems and subsystems is a possible stretch goal.
The output of the work must include the Unreal Engine project which can be compiled by Dstl and facilitate future development, as well as a compiled version of the software.
