We are very active in the design of training solutions for our own educational courses, and in supporting other organisations' training system design and delivery.

Our activities in this area include active research into the methods and means of training delivery, and determination and measurement of the effectiveness of these methods in different environments, organisations and levels.

Our Defence Training Analysis capability includes the design of training systems by balancing the use of different media to achieve the most cost effective solutions and outputs.  

Some recent examples of our work include:

  • Infantry weapon training options;
  • Cyber warfare training options;
  • Infantry training systems;
  • Advanced distributed simulations for training;
  • Forensic computing for security;
  • C-IED training technologies.

Our research is highly regarded internationally and our academics are called upon to undertake progressive research projects and to provide impartial, expert advice on their subjects. Our approach to research and consultancy projects is flexible.
