BAE Systems wins $19 million contract to build prototype for new Marine Corps Wargaming Center

The U.S. Marine Corps has awarded BAE Systems a contract worth approximately $19 million to develop a prototype design for a new Wargaming Center to be built at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, the company announced.

BAE Systems will integrate technologies into the prototype, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, game theory, multi-domain modeling and simulation, and predictive data analytics.

“This prototype will integrate big data and advanced analytics in a secure cloud environment for future wargaming design and assessments,” said Peder Jungck, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems’ Intelligence Solutions business.

BAE Systems is one of three primes selected for the 18-month cloud modeling and simulation phase. As a lead systems integrator, BAE Systems formed a team of industry experts with technology offerings and predictive analytics-based wargaming solutions that automate planning, execution, and post-game analytics.
