Abstract: The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has been capitalising on Modelling and Simulation (M&S) technologies for its simulation and training systems since the early 1980s. The primary focus in the initial years was on the training of soldiers, operators, gunners, pilots and commanders as individuals, or as members of combat teams. Over the years, the SAF has forged ahead, harnessing M&S for areas beyond training, including operational mission planning and rehearsals, decision support, as well as test and evaluation. In recent times, M&S has also become an essential technology and tool for military experimentation. This article traces the evolution of M&S in the SAF, and provides a view of changing M&S landscape with each successive wave of technology advancement. It also provides an assessment and forecast of nature M&S systems in the future.
