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, focus, and efficiency 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 three product areas: (1) Core Services: This activity provides essential planning and coordination of M&S efforts with other Services, the Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Staff, and other agencies to develop policies and procedures necessary for M&S standards, visibility, and potential reuse across DoD. (2) Community Services: This activity provides M&S subject matter expert support embedded in the Navy M&S Communities to recommend implementations for M&S policies, standards, VV&A, and reuse within their Community and to ensure that the wider DON and DoD are aware (visibility) of the M&S products and services, initiatives, processes, and standards. (3) Community Experiments and Prototypes: This activity conducts experiments and prototypes aimed at determining the feasibility and applicability of proposed standards or technical approaches to Navy M&S and investigates Service-unique requirements for standards or guidance to achieve M&S efficiencies.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2021 funding request was reduced by $0.667 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FY 2021 increase of $1.398M supports the need for simulation capabilities in the area of lethality, digital engineering, synthetic battlespace, interface and open architectures for enhanced interoperability, ship design, surface/air/undersea warfare and cyber efforts. Funding increase supports improvements and modernizations to M&S legacy systems, focusing on reducing software and hardware dependency, keeping pace with evolving Fleet capabilities and re-hosting software from a single machine to distributed, federated, or cloud-based architecture to offer greater accessibility and decrease maintainability.
