Simulation Based Acquisition.

Abstract

This report describes what Simulation Based Acquisition (SBA) is, the events that have shaped its formulation so far, and its current status. It discusses the need for a faster and more efficient manner for acquiring and modifying military systems, and how the SBA methodology can aid in meeting this need. The report reviews areas of impact made by SBA, and provides an overview of the forces affecting its evolution. It also provides a set of reference internet sites for use in further investigation of the subject.
