The Impact of Modeling and Simulation

RSS Feed

In today's world of tight budgets, limited training ranges, and over-used equipment, M&S offers safe and innovative solutions to complex challenges. M&S has many applications across many industries.  

From doctors performing hands-on simulated surgeries, to homeland security models that account for details such as wind direction and construction sites, to transportation models that show projected traffic patters in your hometown decades into the future, modeling and simulation is on the verge of breaking out of the defense industry and into the everyday lives of Americans.

 

M & S, as an industry, is in its nascent stage and we cannot even see, at this point, all the areas and industries to which M & S applications can be applied, including:

 

- Public utilities and local governments to plan for growth and determine how to best use existing infrastructure and to plan and evaluate emergency preparedness.

 

- Health care professionals for everything from evaluating new case management strategies to training for surgery.

 

- Manufacturing companies can plan more efficient operating strategies.

 

- And as we encourage M & S to enter our daily lives in practical applications, the industry grows in significance and continues to push the boundaries of technology.
