What is modeling and simulation (M&S)?
A model is a representation of some real thing, process, or behavior. A simulation is the exercising of that model. For transportability, our M&S tools are computer aided engineering software packages that we use to address issues early in the acquisition process. These tools help identify shortcomings and improve design solutions prior to physical prototyping and testing. By applying these tools, we can reduce risk, costs, schedules, and eliminate the need for some testing.
