DoD Modeling and Simulation Management Office
Abstract
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) supports the full range and scope of Department of Defense (DoD) operations. M&S is a key enabler of capabilities supporting real-world applications that underpin innovative solutions meeting national security challenges, act as force multipliers, save resources, and save lives. The DoD Modeling and Simulation Management Office (MSMO), designated by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) to be the focal point for DoD M&S, enhances the DoD M&S Enterprise by (1) enabling cooperation and collaboration in identifying, developing and sustaining M&S solutions; and (2) promoting common architectures, standards, and services that improve interoperability, reuse, and cost effectiveness of DoD M&S. This Program supports the goals of DoD’s M&S Strategic Vision, which are: Goal 1. Standards, architectures, networks and environments that: • Promote the sharing of tools, data, and information across the Enterprise. • Foster common formats. • Are readily accessible and can be reliably applied by users. Goal 2. Policies at the enterprise level that: • Promote interoperability and the use of common M&S capabilities. • Minimize duplication and encourage reuse of M&S capabilities. • Encourage research and development to respond to emerging challenges. • Limit the use of models and data encumbered by proprietary restrictions. • Leverage M&S capabilities across DoD, other government agencies, International partners, industry, and academia. Goal 3. Management processes for models, simulations, and data that: • Enable M&S users and developers to easily discover and share M&S capabilities and provide incentives for their use. • Facilitate the cost-effective and efficient development and use of M&S systems and capabilities. • Include practical validation, verification, and accreditation guidelines that vary by application area. Goal 4. Tools in the form of models, simulations, and authoritative data that: • Support the full range of DoD interests. • Provide timely and credible results. • Make capabilities, limitations, and assumptions easily visible. • Are useable across communities. Goal 5. People that: • Are well-trained. • Employ existing models, simulation, and data to support departmental objectives. • Advance M&S to support emerging departmental challenges.
