Panel: the future of military simulation

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has a large investment in modeling and simulation (M&S). There are several ways to categorize M&S including engineering models, analysis models and training models. Tremendous savings in manpower and financial resources are realized through the use of M&S. There are a tremendous number of challenges and opportunities that confront and confound those in positions to make decisions relative to where to invest the time and money to support current M&S, and future development. Herein we present a panel of knowledgeable individuals who are filling those decision-making roles. They provide some insight into this morass of algorithms and requirements
