DoD Modeling and Simulation Management Office
Abstract
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is a key enabler of the Department of Defense (DoD) activities in communities such as acquisition, analysis, experimentation, planning, test & evaluation, and training. The strategic objective of the DoD Modeling and Simulation Management Office is to execute enterprise management of a robust, defense-wide M&S capability. The goal is to enhance the return on DoD’s M&S investment through funding and coordinating high-priority activities that: (1) encourage collaboration among M&S stakeholders throughout the DoD; (2) promote outreach and better understanding of defense systems, missions, and operations; (3) support efficiency, reduce duplication, and enhance reuse through improved characterization of M&S programs and resources; and (4) leverage the investment in this National Critical Technology within the DoD, with other governmental agencies, industry, and academia. Under the authority of DoD Directive 5134.1, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) provides the oversight for this Modeling and Simulation Management Office Program Element with advice and assistance from a flag-officer level M&S Steering Committee. The Program Element is executed by the Modeling and Simulation Coordination Office (M&S CO) in accordance with DoD Directive 5000.59, Management of Modeling and Simulation, DoD 4120.24-M, DoD Standardization Program (DSP) Policies and Procedures, and DoD Instruction 3200.14, Principles and Operational Parameters of the DoD Scientific and Technical Information Program. Comment: Performance in this program is monitored in the following ways: 1. Number of instances where M&S standards have been adopted. 2. Number of M&S standards registered with the Defense Standardization Program. 3. Number of M&S capabilities identified in Community M&S business plans and in the Corporate and Crosscutting Business Plan. 4. Number of new M&S gaps addressed in Community M&S business plans and in the Corporate and Crosscutting Business Plan. 5. Number of policy decisions obtaining M&S Steering Committee concurrence, which result in action with the Communities and Services. 6. Number of M&S resources (tools, data, and services) made visible for reuse. 7. Number of curricula available for educating the M&S workforce. 8. Number of collaborative events held with other DoD Departments and Agencies and with coalition partners.
