Harpoon 3 Professional "“Gaming allows you to try out tactics and not worry about having to swim for it.”
- Sir John “Sandy” Woodward, Admiral (Ret) RN

Adm. Woodward knows the value of gaming tactics before engaging in combat. He led the British fleet in Operation Corporate that recaptured the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982.

Advanced Gaming Systems, Inc., (AGSI) is the developer of Harpoon 3 Professional warfare simulation, which is designed to help military professionals and policy makers plan for future naval confrontations.

Harpoon 3 Professional is the latest evolution of a vision by best-selling author Larry Bond. When he was a Naval officer serving on destroyers, Bond designed a simulation for use as a training aid. The simulation, Harpoon, was so successful in "gaming" real-life conflict situations, that author Tom Clancy used it in co-writing "Red Storm Rising" and "The Hunt for Red October" with Bond.

Harpoon 3 Professional is the gateway to 21 century commercial simulations for defense professionals. This one product accurately simulates strategic, operational and tactical levels situations in air, sea, submarine and land environments.

Defense professionals use Harpoon 3 Professional for risk management, concept exploration, evaluation of emerging technology, training, education and policy analysis.

Harpoon3 Professional is a cost-effective, efficient and comprehensive method of doing more with less than previous simulations.
