Perspectives on the Use of M&S to Support Systems Acquisition

Abstract

There is increased interest in the use of innovative modeling and simulation (M&S) tools to support the acquisition of defense systems. This paper discusses the two recent activities that were convened to shed light on this issue: a study by the National Research Council (NRC) entitled "Modeling and Simulation in Manufacturing and Defense Systems Acquisition: Pathways to Success" and a workshop sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) 011 "M&S to Support C4ISR Acquisition and Transformation". The paper concludes by identifying the major common themes that emerged from the two activities and potential next steps.
