DoD Modeling and Simulation Management Office
Abstract
Modeling and Simulation (M&S) supports the full range and scope of the Department of Defense (DoD) missions and operations. M&S is a key enabler of DoD capabilities; underpins innovative solutions meeting real-world national security challenges, and saves resources. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)), under the authority of DoD Directive 5134.01, designated the DoD Modeling and Simulation Management Office (MSMO) to be the focal point and advocate for Defense M&S to enhance the Defense M&S Enterprise by (1) enabling cooperation and collaboration in identifying, developing and sustaining modeling and simulation solutions; and (2) promoting technology solutions, including common M&S architectures, standards, and services that improve interoperability, reuse, and cost effectiveness of DoD M&S. MSMO executes its efforts in accordance with the USD(AT&L)-promulgated DoD Directive 5000.59, “Management of Modeling and Simulation” and DoD Instruction 5000.70, “Management of DoD Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Activities;” and other DoD Issuances, including DoD 4120.24-M, “DoD Standardization Program (DSP) Policies and Procedures” and DoD Instruction 3200.14, “Principles and Operational Parameters of the DoD Scientific and Technical Information Program.” MSMO is responsible for: • Planning, coordinating, and managing funds to support enterprise-level M&S activities that guide the Defense M&S Community to achieve the DoD Strategic Vision for M&S. • Bringing together M&S stakeholders to advise and assist on finding solutions for removing the barriers to interoperability, reuse, commonality, efficiency, and effectiveness. • Developing, coordinating, and advocating for, with advice and assistance from the DoD M&S Steering Committee, policy/guidance, technology, standards, best practices, and strategic planning processes that promote interoperability and reuse across the Department. MSMO also serves as DoD’s: • Focal point and advocate for coordinating M&S information exchanges and interactions within DoD, with other U.S. Government departments and agencies, international allies, industry and academia. • Lead Standardization Activity (LSA) for managing M&S standards and methodologies.
