SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY (SIMTECH) PROGRAM
Abstract
The Army Simulation Technology (SIMTECH) program 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 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.) Performers of SIMTECH activities are 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 (TRAC), the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO-STRI), White Sands Missile Range, Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC), Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center (ECBC), and other Army agencies.
