The programme will enhance the MDA’s current modelling and simulation frameworks consisting of the digital simulation architecture and the single stimulation framework.

The exiting framework integrates models from each of the ballistic missile defence system (BMDS) programme elements into one system.

The BMDS is a complex system of sensors, interceptors and a command and control, battle management and communications network.
