DoD Modeling and Simulation Management Office
Abstract
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is a key enabler of DoD capabilities; underpins innovative solutions meeting real-world national security challenges; acts as a force multiplier; saves resources; and saves 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 and advocate for DoD M&S, enhances the DoD M&S Enterprise by (1) enabling cooperation and collaboration in identifying, developing and sustaining modeling and simulation solutions; and (2) promoting technology solutions, including common M&S architectures, standards, and services that improve interoperability, reuse, and cost effectiveness of DoD M&S. In FY 2016, this Program Element (PE) will be transferred to a new PE 0603833D8Z entitled, "Engineering Science and Technology" in order to support the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Systems Engineering) priorities -- to “grow engineering capabilities to address emerging Defense challenges” and to “champion systems engineering as a tool to improve acquisition quality.” Engineering science and technology, including modeling and simulation (M&S) and systems engineering (SE) research, support the cost-effective acquisition of complex systems and the full range and scope of Department of Defense (DoD) missions and operations.
