Duplication/Proliferation of Weapon Systems' Modeling and Simulation Efforts Within DOD

Abstract

Military Departments and Defense agencies have a hierarchy of models/simulations generally oriented to their primary mission. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number and frequency of use of models/simulations within DoD. Accordingly, Congress and DoD management have become concerned about the potential for duplication and proliferation of modeling and simulation. Our objective was to determine if redundant investment is being made by DoD for modeling/simulation efforts supporting weapon system development. In addition, we evaluated internal controls used to prevent unnecessary investment in models and simulations
