Military Operations Analysis
Our Military Operations Analysis (MOA) team undertakes evidence-based analysis of defence operations and capability using scientific methods such as wargaming, field experimentation, and modelling and simulation.
At its most simple our aim is to enable and promote the use of evidence to support important defence decisions in three broad areas: current and future military capability, military operations and strategic decision-making.

Human Systems
The Defence White Paper recognises the core of NZDF capability will remain its people. Our focus is on those people. Our knowledge of the abilities and limitations of defence personnel helps us to improve their operational efficiency, effectiveness and safety.
We analyse and give advice about technology so that it is designed, developed, focused and used (in some way) to:
- extend and enhance the capabilities of people
- sustain people
- protect and repair
Our Human Systems team is made up of two sections: the Performance and Health section, and the Human Systems Integration section.
