Modeling and Simulation Support to the Acquisition of C4ISR Systems

摘要

Department of Defense Directive (DODD) 5000.59, DOD Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Management, directed OSD Principal Staff Assistants to plan and provide resources, as needed, to carry out functional M&S responsibilities. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control and Communications (C3I) directed that a M&S Master Plan for Information Superiority (IS) be developed, giving full consideration to C4ISR M&S activities throughout the Department. This is referenced as the IS MSMP. It identified four specific objectives and a set of actions that support the achievement of the Information Superiority vision. The next step was to be the development of an Investment Plans that would help to satisfy each of these objectives. One of these objectives dealt with M&S support to the acquisition of C4ISR systems. This paper identifies several initiatives that are being proposed to satisfy this objective. It is partially based upon a workshop that was organized and conducted in April 2002, specifically sponsored to address this subject.
