Modeling and simulation in the test and evaluation process

Article Abstract:

An integral part of most major weapon systems is some form of a C(superscript 3)I technology. This utilization and its complexity are presenting the Department of Defense (DoD) Test and Evaluation (T&E) with major performance evaluation challenges. These challenges will require the utilization of complementary computer models and simulations (M/S) with testings. To effectively complement testing, it is necessary that the methodology for employing M/S with testing be clearly understood throughout the life cycle of the weapon system. Also, there are four basic M/S characteristics which will require special attention during the development and utilization of the M/S capability. These characteristics are: (1) Degree of Representation, (2) Practicality, (3) Validation and (4) Configuration control. These characteristics will need to receive top priority at all times if M/S is to become a complementary tool for the DoD T&E communities. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

The role of modeling and simulation in operational test and evaluation

Article Abstract:

Modeling and Simulation play a significant role in the Department of Defense's Operation Test and Evaluation activities. However, it is extremely important to understand the capabilities and limitations of modeling. The test members should agree to the role modeling will play in each test, as well as what particular parts of the test activity will be affected by the model. If carefully designed and executed, models can be used to provide highly credible results that cannot be feasibly achieved by any other means. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Modeling and simulation in the operational test and evaluation process

Article Abstract:

The continuous use of modeling and simulation (M-S) throughout the operational test and evaluation (OT&E) process is presented as a means to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of OT&E. The utility of using M-S from understanding the problem at the beginning of a test program to maximizing the utility of test information after the test is discussed along with some problem areas and potential solutions.
