Dante simulation tool

Dante facilitates creation, simulation, and analysis of scenarios to explore effectiveness of tactics, technologies, and procedures in a range of environments, including physical, cyber, and behavior. Scenarios include simulation of physical objects (e.g., buildings, equipment, vehicles, or weapons), people and their behaviors, and such information as communications and cyber systems. Scenarios can be run with such variations as changes in tactics, technology type, behaviors, perceptions, or variations on sensor locations. Because red and blue forces can be simulated in this serious gaming environment, force-on-force or red teaming scenarios are supported.

Hundreds of runs can be generated overnight. Even more runs can take place if simulations are distributed among computer cores or across a cluster. Monte Carlo distributions can be added for sensitivity analysis. Dante includes built-in analysis and visualization capabilities. Data can be exported to databases for analysis by the customer’s preferred tools. Results from Dante can be used to inform decision makers and operators on the effectiveness of existing and future systems for defense, combat, first response, or other situation assessment. Evaluation of scenarios in Dante can support development of policy and CONOPS and act as documentation and justification for decisions.

Dante can generate large quantities of stochastic data for assessments, red teaming, “trade-off” or “what-if” studies, and sensitivity analysis. As such, it is a useful tool to leverage and balance with live exercises and experiments.

Dante supports visualization of scenarios in 3D at rates faster, slower, or equal to real time. Visualization is not typically utilized in Dante when collecting data from large numbers of runs.
Dante is used in evaluation of tactics and technology for secure facilities and in-theater requests from current conflicts.
