A Hierarchy of Models and Simulations Used in Support of System Acquisition.

Abstract

This document is an assessment of the various steps within the M&S hierarchy typically used in the system acquisition life cycle of a weapon system. This assessment addresses the different levels of M&S fidelity and scope within a hierarchy and how the IPPD management technique utilizes the M&S results to support the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) associated with system acquisition. Also, this document addresses interoperability between the different levels of within the hierarchy and provides a recommended effort between two popular M&S currently being used by a variety of DoD agencies. These are the FireSim21 force level and GENEric Smart Indirect fire (GENESIS) many on many engagement level M&S.
