Defense modeling and simulation is a growing technology industry that provides readily available, operationally valid environments for warfighting training. In addition, it provides opportunities to train jointly, develop doctrine and tactics, formulate operational plans, and assess warfighting situations.
How does M&S impact national defense?
In today’s world of tight budgets, limited training ranges, and over-used equipment, M&S offers safe and innovative solutions to complex military training challenges. Its interoperability, reuse, and affordability hold the potential to revolutionize warfighting capabilities.
