Preface
This volume contains selected papers presented at the MESAS 2020 Conference:
Modelling and Simulation for Autonomous Systems, held on October 21, 2020, in
Prague. The initial idea to launch the MESAS project was introduced by the NATO
Modelling and Simulation Centre of Excellence in 2013, with the intent to bring
together the Modelling and Simulation and the Autonomous Systems/Robotics com-
munitiesandtocollectnewideasforconceptdevelopmentandexperimentationinthis
domain. From that time, the event has gathered together (in keynote, regular, poster,
andwayaheadsessions)fullyrecognizedexpertsfromdifferenttechnicalcommunities
in the military, academia, and industry. The main topical parts of the 2020 edition of
MESAS were “Future Challenges of Advanced M&S Technology,” “M&S of Intelli-
gent Systems,” and “AxS in Context of Future Warfare and Security Environment.”

(NATO M&S COE)
TheNATOM&SCOEisarecognizedinternationalmilitaryorganizationactivatedby
the North Atlantic Council in 2012, and does not fall under the NATO Command
Structure. Partnering nations provide funding and personnel for the centre through a
memorandum of understanding. The Czech Republic, Italy, the United States, and
Germany are the contributing nations, as of this publication. The NATO M&S COE
supportsNATOtransformationbyimprovingthenetworkingofNATOandnationally
owned M&S systems, promoting cooperation between nations and organizations
through the sharing of M&S information, and serving as an international source of
expertise.
TheNATOM&SCOEseekstobealeadingworld-classorganization,providingthe
bestmilitaryexpertiseinmodellingandsimulationtechnology,methodologies,andthe
development of M&S professionals. Its state-of-the-art facilities can support a wide
rangeofM&Sactivities includingbutnotlimitedto:educationandtrainingofNATO
M&S professionals on M&S concepts and technology with hands-on courses that
expose students to the latest simulation software currently used across the alliance;
