SPOTLIGHT: Unveiling the power of wargaming in modern military strategy

In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, James Moorhouse, director of wargaming at Atturra, joins host Liam Garman to explore the crucial role of wargaming in helping soldiers, sailors and aviators engage with the kill chain in a fail-safe environment.

Throughout the podcast, also available on YouTube, Moorhouse and Garman delve into how wargaming serves as a platform to experiment with various strategies in an educational and analytical setting.

Key discussion points include:

• The history of wargaming and how an investment during the Obama administration revolutionised military professionals’ understanding of the kill chain.
