World's largest virtual battlefield exercise
The military has partnered with key players from across the defence, IT and communication industries to hold the largest, international virtual war game.
The Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID) virtually tests ground breaking future military technology. It is an online virtual battlefield exercise, involving military personnel and industry from across the globe and is currently being played by fifteen different countries.
The war game will also help to test future crucial communications networks and interoperability for our Armed Forces. In turn, these will help to improve the effectiveness of multinational operations and reduce the risk of friendly fire.
CWID will run between the 4th and the 22nd June 2007 at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) site at Portsdown West, Fareham.
