Abstract

The Operational Analysis Element of the Air Warfare Centre provides the scientific support to front line units of the Royal Air Force, and consequently is required to develop, maintain and use simulation models and tools for addressing a range of military problems. On occasions there will be opportunities to undertake controlled trials to collect data for model validation. While potentially immensely valuable for the validation of the simulation, trials can present their own challenges and analysis issues.
