White Paper on a Proposed Approach for Establishing and Utilizing a Logistics Modeling/Simulation Capability for the SDS
Abstract
The Testing and Evaluation of the Strategic Defense System will be conducted through integrated modeling/simulation efforts within the NTB environment. Logistics analyses to be conducted during this process must consider critical parameters of system design (e.g., maintainability, producibility), system performance (e.g., reliability, availability), and system affordability (e.g., marginal costs, life cycle costs). Many of the logistics models and simulations needed to perform these analyses exist, or are currently being developed. The thoughtful integration and application of these models, directed by S/SE, in coordination with SDIO/TE, will provide the Community with the logistics analysis capability required to support the design and definition of a producible, supportable and affordable SDS. The development of an integrated effectiveness/logistics modeling capability has been a major concern of the Logistics Modeling and Simulation Advisory Committee over the past 8 months. As such, a great deal of progress has been made in the up-front planning necessary to initiate this analysis capability within the NTB, although the nature of the Committee precludes its implementation of this plan. The technical approach summarized in the next section expands upon these pertinent Committee activities to propose a methodology for the implementation and utilization of an integrated modeling capability.
