Intelligent Use of M&S Is Good T&E Business

Abstract

Operational test and evaluation "...does not include an operational assessment based exclusively on--(1) computer modeling; (2) simulation; or (3) an analysis of... program documents." (U.S. Code Title 10, section 2399). Yet we use not only realistic tests but also models, simulations, and the discipline of modeling and simulation (M&S) to inform our evaluations. We could easily assume a lot about M&S, but intelligent use of M&S in T&E requires a disciplined approach in both planning and confidence building.
