Program Description
•Purpose: Introduce the audience to advanced M&S functions across the Space Force and Space Command landscape.
•Overview: This session discusses how space-related M&S issues contribute towards joint lethality. How is M&S employed to leverage the greatest effect so that more informed decisions and trade-offs can be made to allocate limited resources in the face of advanced persistent threat? What are key M&S challenges associated with delivering a robust LVC environment? How do we use M&S to best understand near/mid/far-term capability gaps that can only be addressed by R&D? What are we doing right in the space analyic community, and how can we double down on those successes? What is the most important capability needed to simulate space systems effectively?
•Other relevant info: Our panel will have diverse voices across USSF, as well as operational insight from SPACECOM M&S Leadership.
