The Use of Constructive Simulation in the Educational Process of Military Engineers

The article deals with the use of the constructive simulation software tool in the educational process of military engineers. The simulation of two scenarios is based on the data obtained from the experiment within the framework of the Engineer Support Management Course; the created simulation model using MASA SWORD is used to verify the proposed scenarios, including graphic, but also analytical outputs. The statistical comparison of both scenarios proposed is also a part of the simulation model. It is clear from the results that constructive simulation can be a good addition to “regular” teaching methods, and with the use of an analytical tool, it enables the related research of combat effectiveness to be carried out. The wide use of a specific software tool and the implementation of Best Practices from abroad (e.g. from Slovakia) can facilitate the verification of selected combat activity scenarios in silico. In the future, this tool can become a regular part of teaching at a military university (University of Defence) and training at the Centre of Simulation and Training Technologies and increase the efficiency of the entire process for the Czech Armed Forces.
