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); the Center for Army Analysis (CAA); the Army Materiel Command; the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO-STRI). 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 overall use of 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 areas of irregular warfare, M&S data and standards, cyberspace operations, army network modeling, and non-lethal weapons. Project S03 also includes, beginning with FY14, the Army Simulation Technology (SIMTECH) program, which enhances force effectiveness by assisting Modeling and Simulation (M&S) research agencies and organizations in conducting low-cost, promising simulation technology research that is outside the scope of the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and the Army science and technology programs. The SIMTECH program provides a source of competitive funds to Army research agencies and organizations to stimulate high quality, innovative M&S research with significant opportunity for payoff in Army war fighting capability. The SIMTECH program serves as a vehicle for major M&SC3I-relalted technology breakthroughs in war gaming, embedded simulation, collaboration cabability, rapid prototyping, commercial innovation and related simulation technology (M&SC3I = Modeling and Simulation Cross-Command Collaboration and Integration.) Performers of SIMTECH activities are the Army Materiel Command (AMC); the Army Corps of Engineers; the Army Research and Development Centers (ARDECs); the Army Research Institute; the Army Training and Doctrine Command Analysis Center (TRAC); the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO-STRI); White Sands Missile Range; the Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC); Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center (ECBC); and other Army agencies.
