Abstract:

For the past six years the Joint Accreditation Support Activity JASA and its predecessor, the Susceptibility Model Assessment and Range Test SMART project, have provided model and simulation accreditation support to US Department of Defense DoD acquisition programs. This paper summarizes keys to cost effective, meaningful accreditation derived from experience working with missile, aircraft, and electronic warfare systems programs in various stages of the systems acquisition cycle.
