The Wargaming Division at Covan Group develops and runs digital Tactical Decision Games (TDGs) to help military teams and partner organizations sharpen their decision-making skills in realistic scenarios. These customized simulations test strategies and tactics while providing a safe space to refine operational approaches and improve readiness. With real-time facilitation and detailed feedback, the Wargaming Division ensures participants gain actionable insights to enhance performance and align partner solutions with military needs.

Covan Group is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in the National Capital Region. Our team consists of high-performing, experienced, and adaptive veterans and civilians who bring a multi-tiered perspective and deep expertise to our clients. Covan Group combines military and civilian experience across key areas, including MAGTF Planning, MEU and Special Operations, Military Instruction, Fires, Networking, Data Analytics, and Multimedia Production. Our capabilities are rooted in experience at all levels, from squad leaders to division leaders. With a strong foundation of recently separated service members—many still serving in the reserve component—Covan Group provides clients with firsthand military insight into research, development, and operational innovation.

Who We Are

Our Work

  • Covan Group leads the development of a prototype range harness, to test and evaluate AI & autonomous systems on behalf of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering, Test Resource Management Center.

  • Covan Group brings military expertise to Stilman Advanced Strategies for the ongoing development, quality assurance, and training support of their wargaming software, LG-RAID.

  • As a subcontractor to BAE, Covan Group served as the principal advisor for all aspects of software testing and demonstration that led to the selection of Seashore (formally PIONEER) as the wargaming software of choice for the Marine Corps’ Neller Center.  This included planning, coordination, scenario writing, testing, execution, and development of training requirements. Covan Group led the team through a series of test readiness events, demonstration tests, and the successful culminating Operational Demonstration which achieved a score above 99%.

  • In collaboration with the Office of Naval Research and leading artificial intelligence developers, Covan Group is developing a new approach to creating, distributing, executing, and evaluating Tactical Decision Games more effectively and efficiently. This effort will modernize the way that military leaders at all echelons train, develop, and evaluate their teams.

  • As a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin, Covan Group served as the lead advisor to the development of SMART-Viz,  a software suite delivered to the United States Marine Corps one year ahead of the projected requirement.  SMART-Viz was designed to address the need for automation-assisted AAR tools that synchronize data from various sources.  SMART-Viz facilitates timely, accurate, and targeted insights on warfighter and unit performance, and enables focused collection of key cognitive skills that drive tactical thinking and decision making. These tools are currently used during the Marine Corps Annual Squad competition in Quantico and at the MAGTF Warfighting Exercises at Twenty-Nine Palms, California.

  • Covan Group offers subject matter expertise and experience in developing AI-powered capabilities that augment small unit leader performance.

  • Collaborating with Serco, CUBRC, and the Office of Naval Research, Covan Group contributes to the development of AI and automated capabilities that enhance military planning, accelerate information gathering, propose alternative solutions, and inform decisions.

  • Covan Group collaborates closely with the Cognitive Performance Group to identify methodologies and approaches that aid commander decision making.
