PANOPEA reproduces a piracy scenario in the Horn of Africa, a very critical area in terms of pirates’ attacks against cargo ships. The considered scenario includes navy vessels and helicopters, intelligence assets, ground bases, cargos as well as other boats (i.e., fisherman and yachts) and pirates hiding in the general traffic. The PANOPEA simulator allows different strategies to be modelled of C2 (Command and Control) due to the fact that the simulation team implemented into the simulator different C2 architectures, including hierarchical and edge solutions.
