Advance M and S in Acquisition T and E

reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1156240 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This document provides a characterization of the current state of modeling and simulation (M and S) in acquisition test and evaluation (T and E) as viewed from the lens of a small number of acquisition programs as well as recommendations to advance M and S in acquisition T and E. Advance M and S in acquisition T and E is an initiative (Initiative #13) established in FY21 by Director, Developmental Test, Evaluation, and Assessment [D(DTE and A)] to help acquisition programs think about how to employ M and S earlier and more often in the acquisition lifecycle to improve the delivery of capability.
