[6] In the late 1980s CORDA produced a simulation called FASTAID that was used by the Royal Army Medical Corps to help train soldiers to make decisions about dispatching ambulances.
[7] An improved and updated version of this tool was developed for Operation GRANBY and delivered by CORDA staff to troops in the field.
[24] "'Our previous work in this area showed real potential for an enhanced gun system on the Navy's ships,' says Samir Patel, CORDA's business development director.
"[25] In 2008, CORDA was "awarded a £300,000 research contract by the UK MoD's Defence Technology and Innovation Centre (DTIC) to assess the level of protection British warships receive from small calibre 30mm guns.
'"[26] The DS30M, which the Royal Navy is fitting to Type 23 frigates, "integrates an off-mount electro-optical director (EOD) with a fully automated 30 mm gun mount".
[27] The study used "simulator based operator trials and aims to quantify the performance of the entire weapon system when engaging multiple vehicles attacking together in a co-ordinated fashion.
[26] CORDA worked in partnership with GE FANUC and BAE Systems' Advanced Technology Centre,[26] in conjunction with the DE&S Integrated Project Teams (IPTs),[26] with Dstl providing technical direction.
