Analysis M&S Tools and Services

Abstract

Under the project "Analysis M&S Tools and Services" the Army develops Modeling and Simulation (M&S) tools and services (e.g., hardware, software, infrastructure) for the Army's analysis community. The primary users of these tools and services are the Training and Doctrine Command Analysis Center (TRAC), the Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA), and the Center for Army Analysis (CAA). Efforts focus on (1) development of analysis tools to enable assessment of emerging technologies during concept exploration, (2) development of infrastructure and enabling technologies to support the Current and Future Force, and (3) application of M&S capabilities to One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) that increase over all use of the OneSAF software and hence reduce Army life-cycle costs. These critical efforts are required for four essential purposes: analysis-of-futures work to justify Army requirements; assessment of alternative approaches to satisfy those requirements; development of current and emerging war fighting doctrine from the tactical to the operational levels of warfare; and the closing of capability gaps in the areas of irregular warfare, M&S data and standards, cyberspace operations, army network modeling, and non-lethal weapons.
