Design
Analysis
Develop

Define

Clarify the wargame problem statement, purpose, objectives, and research questions (PPOR) by using a centralized repository for storing, sharing, and managing information. This ensures that all stakeholders have access to the most up-to-date and accurate data

Rehearse

Exonaut serves as a real-time control and monitoring hub during wargame rehearsal and execution. It enables event simulation, injects dynamic elements into the game, and tracks the progress of participants and research objectives. The platform provides a common operating picture, displaying the evolving battlefield situation, and allowing users to make informed decisions based on accurate and timely information.

Plan

Plan sophisticated wargames, coordinate physical and virtual assets, create personnel billet and role assignments using powerful planning capabilities refined over 20+ years of real-world experience. Exonaut allows you to build robust plans considering administration, facilities, information technology, and equipment support to facilitate wargame execution.

Execute

Comprehensive data capture capabilities collect a wide range of information during the wargame. This includes inputs from participants, observations made by facilitators, and automated data feeds from simulation models. The platform captures data at various levels from individual unit actions to strategic-level decisions ensuring a rich and detailed dataset for subsequent analysis.

 

Design

The platform supports the customization of wargame elements to align with specific training objectives by creating and manipulating maps, importing geospatial data, and defining operational areas. Go even further by specifying the forces, units, and capabilities involved and defining the rules of engagement for the wargame.

 

Analysis

Analytical tools empower users to conduct in-depth analysis of the wargame results. Exonaut supports both qualitative and quantitative analysis, enabling the exploration of trends, patterns, and outcomes. Users can visualize the data through charts, graphs, and interactive dashboards. The platform also supports after-action reviews (AARs), facilitating collaborative discussions and lessons learned sessions.

 

Develop

Exonaut allows wargamers to develop the mechanics to execute and administer the wargame including the adjudication or facilitation plan, the scenarios and injects, the wargame agenda and the player materials.

Collaborative wargaming tool

Exonaut aligns with wargame design, execution, and assessment process steps providing a robust management framework for planning, executing, and analyzing wargames.

The platform organizes the wargame’s planning and design, facilitating effective communication and coordination among team members. Users share information, documents, and updates within the platform ensuring the entire team has access to relevant data and correct resources. This centralized approach improves collaboration, reduces information silos, and promotes a shared understanding of the wargame’s objectives and requirements.

Exonaut supports planning, execution, and analysis activities for multiple past, concurrent, and future wargames.

Enhanced transparency and accountability

This level of management is technically possible with Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, but this invariably leads you down a road of outdated, duplicate versions, time intensive collaboration and a lack of the flexibility needed to create added value across the board.

Worse still, as the level of complexity, data and exercise demands grow, these pain points become exponentially more challenging to overcome. An automated, purpose-built solution becomes the only answer.

User-friendly navigation

The Exonaut platform merges user interfaces into a single secure pane of glass website accessible in parallel by various users based on their roles. This integration streamlines the user experience by consolidating various applications and functionalities into one centralized platform.

Users seamlessly navigate user interfaces between different disparate modules and tools within Exonaut eliminating the need to switch between or walk over to multiple interfaces or applications.

 

Smart access and permissions

Exonaut’s flexible user, role, and permission management capabilities provide granular control over user access and privileges. Administrators can assign specific roles and permissions to individuals or groups ensuring that each user has appropriate access levels based on their responsibilities and requirements. This feature enables efficient collaboration within the wargame’s planning team where different stakeholders have different levels of access and authority.

The platform’s secure Single Sign-On (SSO) service further enhances usability by allowing users to log in once and gain access to all authorized applications within Exonaut.
