Analysis and simulation of operations by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is not always an easy task because of the need to consider the broad C4-ISTAR picture, often in a joint scenario. However, being able to verify mission requirements and to validate concepts of operation before buying new systems is certainly of value to military clients. [C4-ISTAR stands for command, control communications and computers–intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance.–Ed.]

Now, Italy’s Selex Galileo has developed a tool that can be used for validation, planning, rehearsal and training of UAV operations. The new UAV Battlelab (UAVBL) is based on a series of software modules that can simulate various platforms, sensors and scenarios.
