Avi,
Thanks.
I don’t know about the DSTL contacts but I can confirm that Wing Commander Keith Dear, Staff Officer for Innovation in the Joint Warfare Branch of Joint Force Development and Maj Tom Mouat, Staff Officer for Modelling and Simulation at the Technology School of the UK’s Defence Academy would both like to attend the Military Operations Simulation Meeting in November. In addition Wing Commander Dear is happy to present on the UK approach to this area of simulation.
You mentioned that industry partners would be welcome to attend. The UK is working closely with 2 commercial partners: Improbable and CAE. Would it be possible for representatives from these companies to attend as well?
Regards
Ronnie

Dear Tal - thank you for the excellent discussion and for reaching out to me. I really enjoyed our meeting and found it incredibly thought-provoking. Simulation is an increasingly important element of conceptual work and is critical to capability development and force design going forward. I am sure there is so much we can learn from your approach and experiences.
I will ask Toby to find the appropriate contact for you in DSTL over this exciting conference. Best wishes and thank you once again.

Dear Phil,
Thank you very much for having the time to visit the IDF Concepts Laboratory – Development & Experimentation. Please see below the information regarding the 1st International Military Operations Simulation Summit. Of course you and your colleagues are most welcome to participate.
In continuation to our meeting, please contact us to the DSTL and to any other personnel who you think are relevant to that matter. Attached you will find STD, the summit brochure and initial agenda.
On November 12th - 14th 2019, the 1st International Military Operations Simulation Summit will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel, headed by the Head of the Operations Directorate, Major General Aharon Haliva. The Conference is led by IDF’s J-3 in partnership with the Concept Laboratory. We are in the process of building the detailed agenda for the summit that will include officials overviews’ as well as speaking opportunities for the different guests from institutes and parallel Laboratories from around the world.
Background:
Purpose of the IDF Concepts Laboratory – Development & Experimentation:
To operate as the Professional Authority in the IDF for Concept Development, Script and Initiatives in order to help direct Force buildup and best prepare the IDF for future challenges.
Main roles of the Concepts Laboratory:
· Initiate, Formulate and Script IDF Concepts (Multi-Force)
· Identify Operational Gaps, Initiate Operational requirements & recommend COA’s in force build-up.
· Constitute the Analytical – Operational authority of J-3, to assess and validate IDF Concepts and plans, through simulation.
Operational Simulation:
In order for the concepts laboratory to fulfill its purpose and perform its functions, different tools are utilized, the main tool is an operational simulation system/software.
· Allows the run-up of different operations scenarios
· Assists decision-making
· Analysis of OPLANs
International Military Operation Simulation Summit – Objectives:
· Mutual learning and knowledge sharing between the different institutes and offices.
· Creation of an International Community for ongoing information Exchange and mutual learning.
· Creation of an infrastructure for further cooperation with relevant partners.
