Defence IQ Interviews CEO, Graeme Duncan
Defence IQ interviews Graeme Duncan, the CEO of Caspian Learning in an insightful session that opens the discussion on military simulations even further. Caspian Learning’s “Thinking Worlds” technology is the focus of discussion as Graeme applies the application of the tool to developing rapid, browser based simulations for the military. The discussion looks at how open the technology is, who Caspian Learning’s past clients have been, how relationships are built with the military and where the technology is headed.
Some snippets:
“What they saw with the simulation was a reduction by over 50 percent, in the need to carry out BUTS training in the cohort that went through the Maritime Warfare School simulation, linked to weapons rounds.”
“I think what is clear is that there is no one, and never should there be, simulation or games engine that solves all of our learning ills. There is a need for different simulation technology, both authoring platforms and delivery platforms to deliver different types of learning experience. And that could be the difference between single player scenarios and multiplayer scenarios.”
“And I think that our battle as an organisation is to continually understand those technical restraints that our military clients work in, and work tirelessly to make sure that we make the developmental processes as rapid as possible, and the ease of deployment as simple as possible.”
