Standardized documentation for verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) — helping assure mission success

The Department of Defense (DoD) Modeling and Simulation Steering Committeepsilas Acquisition Community Lead sponsors the project, ldquoStandardized Documentation for Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A).rdquo This paper will update the military communications and information processing community on that project. It will provide information about MIL-STD-3022, which recommends standardized content and format requirements for four core VV&A documents; the DoD VV&A Documentation Tool, which is the technology that automates the production of the four VV&A documents to ensure standardization across the DoD and Military Departments; and the development of VV&A XML schemas that enable the sharing of VV&A information via the Global Information Grid enterprise anywhere in the world and at anytime.
