PEO Soldier Simulation Roadmap: Continued Efforts in Implementation

Abstract

The Army acquisition community requires high-resolution simulations that represent the dismounted infantry soldier in enough detail to conduct an analysis of alternatives (AOA) for individual weapons and equipment. These models must also be capable of assessing future, proposed capabilities and technologies. Previous work completed in May 2004 proposed the creation of a federation between three different simulation models to achieve this capability. Over the past two years, the Operations Research Center at the United States Military Academy has worked with PEO Soldier to implement this proposed solution. In this report, we discuss second year of the implementation process. We first will describe the process of refining the requirements developed in the first year of implementation into a more useable set of analytical focus-areas for the three combat model developers. We will then address the critical topic of linking the three models. Finally, we will detail the procedure we used to capture the analytical needs and linkage elements into a comprehensive, flexible, and long-term Memorandum of Agreement between PEO Soldier and the proponents for the three combat models. We will conclude with a discussion the current state of the implementation process as we close out the second year and the road ahead for continued implementation efforts.
