Modeling and simulation provide a key enabler to integrating the research and development community, defense contractors, DoD acquisition offices, and the testing community to achieve the transformational changes envisioned in Secretary Rumsfeld's future DoD. Therefore, effective utilization of modeling and simulation through all phases of the DoD acquisition process encompasses a compelling opportunity to embrace the simulation-based acquisition (SBA)

Each acquisition stage builds on and is dependent on the foundation of the acquisition step and technical analysis and risk assessment of the stage directly preceding it to expand design options while simultaneously decreasing time to field capability and to reduce the risk of implementation. Figure 5-2 reflects this hierarchy and the additive nature of the types of modeling and simulation critical to making the technical decisions to support development and thereafter acquisition.

and dedicated staff assigned to the acquisition program.11 The benefits of adopting modeling and simulation plans can impact programs in both the short term and the long term, as well as having a broader effect on the DoD. Development of proactive plans allows the PM to engage the DoD service laboratories to leverage existing expertise within the DoD, as well as that available through the Department of Energy (DOE)

As the level of complexity of a program increases, modeling and simulation offer a practical means to examine, quantify, and exercise all portions of a system in an organized manner and allow assessment of its capabilities to meet mission objectives. Assessment of the system of systems and the interoperability of systems deployed is an area that particularly benefits from using virtual modeling and simulation due to the severe financial and operational issues of live testing and validation of these two issues in actual battlefield situations.

Instituting common model access, common model databases, and common document controls will ensure that information generated under government funding is available to multiple program managers. Incentives for program managers to develop integrated design and manufacturing tools can make simulation-based acquisition become a reality for DoD programs.
