Modeling & Simulation Support

Abstract

This Program Element addresses projects under the Navy Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Office. It supports technical and management initiatives directed by Congress, Department of Defense (DoD), Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV), and Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) with the aim of bringing organization and focus to the development and use of M&S throughout the Navy and DoD. It provides a central agency for the formulation and implementation of policy and guidance in M&S, and represents Navy interests in Joint and other agency initiatives. It funds efforts to define and coordinate the corporate Navy M&S policy and guidance to evolve an interoperable and reusable core M&S capability consistent with the M&S technical framework prescribed by DoD. Efforts are organized around four product areas: (1) Engineering Studies and Analysis: identifies and measures the relevance of existing and emerging standards, technologies and services necessary to guide Navy M&S use; (2) Products and Services: promotes the policy, standards and technologies necessary to guide more efficient development and use of M&S across the Navy, including development and management of the Navy Modeling and Simulation Information Service (NMSIS); (3) M&S Quality Assurance Program: establishes and manages a disciplined process of model Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A); and (4) Simulation Experiments: supports M&S use in Navy exercises and experiments across a wide variety of warfighting and supporting communities. Specifically, Simulation Experiments integrate appropriate models and simulations into Fleet exercises to test, validate and evaluate for possible transition to operationally relevant M&S products in support of Navy operations, training, acquisition, analysis and assessment.
