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 organization 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, M&S execution, and guidance to evolve an interoperable and reusable core M&S capability consistent with the M&S technical framework prescribed by DoD across the FYDP. DON M&S priorities include Systems Engineering and Integration, Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and Interoperability and Requirements Development to determine the required networks, infrastructure, and data needed to support enterprise DON M&S capabilities which also leverage M&S standards, information systems, virtual environments, and T&E Augmentation in support of warfighting decision-making. Efforts are organized around three product areas: (1) Core Services: This activity provides essential planning, coordination, and execution of Naval M&S efforts with other Services, the Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Staff, and other agencies that includes 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
FINANCIAL: The FY 2023 funding request was adjusted by $0.869M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances TECHNICAL: No significant change. SCHEDULE: Activities and milestones clarified to better show synchronization of Projects 2222 activities and deliverables in support of Project Overmatch and digital warfighting transformation objectives. Major Milestones - Project 2222: The overall schedule for project 2222 is linked to the Project Overmatch schedule which is held at a higher classification. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
