This tutorial will describe the fundamental technologies, terms and concepts associated with Modeling and Simulation (M&S) as used in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The tutorial will cover key M&S terms and concepts that describe M&S technology, development, and application. It will include: (a) M&S terminology and concepts; (b) M&S technology, architectures, and interoperability protocols; and (c) The processes for developing valid representations of: DoD warfighting capabilities, threat capabilities, complex systems, and mission environments. The attendee will become familiar with how M&S is used in the DoD for operational purposes - especially training and other areas of direct warfighter support. This tutorial will highlight the role of Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) in ensuring credible models and simulations meet the needs of their users, the use of M&S Standards, and the integration of M&S with DoD Mission Engineering and Digital Engineering in the development and acquisition of DoD warfighting capabilities. The tutorial will describe the characteristics and associated challenges of M&S application within DoD functional areas including Training, Analysis, Acquisition, Test and Evaluation, Planning, Medical, Mission Engineering, Autonomy, Artificial intelligence, DoD Research and Development/Employment, and Intelligence. The tutorial will also identify accessible DoD M&S information resources.
