2、ery VanderVlietAnteon Corporation,California,MarylandThe nature of todays defense system acquisition process demands the procurement of increas-ingly complex systems in shorter time periods with decreased funding.In particular,the testand evaluation community is increasingly challenged to reduce ove
3、rall test time and cost,yetnot diminish its mission of comprehensive,independent assessment of the warfightersweaponry.One of the most promising methodologies currently available to the tester to affectthis challenge is virtual testing through the use of modeling and simulation(M&S).Thepotential ben
4、efits of M&S are well-known,but issues related to model validation,the lack oftimely access to large-scale computing assets,and the lack of efficient user interfaces with mul-tidisciplinary M&S capability have created a gap between the M&S and test communitieswho desire to use advanced M&S to effect
