An architecture for simulation based acquisition

In 1997 the Acquisition Council of the Department of Defense Executive Coun cil for Modeling and Simulation adopted a vision for Simulation Based Acqui sition (SBA) "an acquisition process in which DoD and industry are enabled by robust, collaborative use of simulation technology that is integrated ac ross acquisition phases and programs." Subsequently, a Joint Task Force was chartered to develop an SBA road map. As part of the Task Force, the Labor atory developed the architecture concepts covering the operational, system, and technical views that would promote interoperability and reuse of model s and simulations.
