Air Force Studies and Analysis Agency
Abstract
Provides for development and enhancement of modeling and simulation tools for strategic planning, operational requirements, modernization and recapitalization of systems and programs, and the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) processes for the AF Analytic Community and Secretary of the Air Force Standard Analysis Toolkit in support of AF Senior Leadership. As new technologies are introduced to the battlefield Digital Electronic Jammers, maneuvering Surface-to-Surface Missiles, Directed Energy Weapons, etc.)along with evolving warfighting techniques and support operations, the range covered by existing analytic tools needs to be expanded as well. M&S creation and enhancement can require extensive research in how to implement the emerging weapons capabilities as well as demand development of software techniques to implement the changes. Additionally, new focus areas such as Space, Irregular Warfare, Information Operations, Cyber warfare and ISR are mandating tools of their own to examine and these also require new exploration and development. These focus areas will need to be examined in isolation and cross-domain through populating data in existing models. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
