SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY (SIMTECH) PROGRAM
Abstract
The Army Simulation Technology (SIMTECH) program enhances Current and Future Force effectiveness by inducing Modeling and Simulation (M&S) research agencies and organizations to conduct high-priority, 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 focuses simulation technology research initiatives on immediate short-term Army capability requirements by including a theme in the annual call for proposals. The SIMTECH program serves as a vehicle for major M&SC3I-related technology breakthroughs in war gaming, embedded simulation, collaboration capability, rapid prototyping, commercial innovation and related simulation technology. (M&SC3I = Modeling and Simulation Cross-Command Collaboration and Integration.) Successful SIMTECH projects are generally transitioned to start-up projects and existing Army simulation programs. SIMTECH activities are performed by the Army Materiel Command, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Army Research and Development Centers (ARDECs), the Army Research Institute, the Army Training and Doctrine Command Analysis Center, the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO-STRI) and other Army agencies.
