INTEGRATED SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS

The Integrated Simulation and Analysis project funds activities that develop and support integrated analysis and digital engineering tools for the Capability Development Enterprise. In addition, the project develops tools and methodologies to support required analysis and studies; this produces system performance representations/models, environments, architectures, digital artifacts, data, and tools that underpin variable fidelity, stand-alone, interactive, and distributed simulations. The project incorporates Mission Engineering and Digital Engineering enterprise tools and methods (i.e. Model-Based Systems Engineering [MBSE], Modeling Simulation and Analysis [MS&A] ecosystem) as the technical and digital underpinning for the simulation models/ behaviors; it develops and maintains digital records for future analytical needs and serves as a template to identify, road map, and enable the Modeling and Simulation- centric portions of the acquisition life cycle and of operational missions. The project may fund IT and licenses to execute modern Mission Engineering and Digital Engineering. The project initiates and leverages studies performed by industry, academia, FFRDCs and UARCs that may be required to develop and create technology representative models and data. Program management support costs including, but not limited to, hardware, software, travel, contractor support services, civilian pay, supplies, facilities, and infrastructure. This program may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Requirements Analysis and Maturation capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, and 0605898F.
