The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating
society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering
research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their
use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by
the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the
federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts
is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the
charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of
outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the
selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the
responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of
Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national
needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior
achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm A. Wulf is president of the National
Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy
of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate
professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the
public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National
Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the
federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical
care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the Institute
of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of
Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology
with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal
government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by
the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both
the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering
in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and
engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both
Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. Wm
A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National
Research Council.

Preface
The goal of virtual analysis over the life cycle of a product or
system from "lust to dust" is as lofty as it is difficult to attain. Before
any capital expenditure is made, we seek to use modeling and simulation to
aid in, among other things, concept formation and evaluation, architecture
development, specification, detailed design (of both the product or system
and the manufacturing process to create it), risk analysis, provision for
support in the field, life-cycle costing, and disposal. Strong progress
toward this difficult goal will provide increased effectiveness of the
product or system in the field, reduced cost and risk, and reduced time to
deployment—that is, the right product, better, cheaper, faster.
The National Research Council's Committee on Modeling and
Simulation Enhancements for 21 st Century Manufacturing and Acquisition
was formed in response to a request from the Defense Modeling and
Simulation Office (DMSO) of the Department of Defense. The committee
was asked to do the following: (1) investigate next-generation evolutionary
and revolutionary M&S capabilities that will support enhanced defense
systems acquisition; (2) identify specific emerging design, testing, and
manufacturing process technologies that can be enabled by advanced M&S
capabilities; (3) relate these emerging technologies to long-term DOD
requirements; (4) assess ongoing efforts to develop advanced M&S
capabilities and identify gaps that must be filled to make the emerging
technologies a reality; (5) identify lessons learned from industry; and (6)
recommend specific government actions to expedite development and to
enable maximum DOD and U.S. commercial benefit from these
capabilities.
Private industry, universities, federally funded research and
development centers, government laboratories, and university-affiliated
research centers were all represented on the committee. (Biographical
sketches of committee members appear in Appendix A). The committee
met five times between June 2000 and June 2001 to review previous
literature on acquisition-related M&S (see Appendix B), to hear briefings
from national experts on relevant topics (see Appendix C), and to discuss
and develop their conclusions and recommendations. On the basis of its
statement of task, the committee focused on M&S in acquisition and its
associated functional areas, especially manufacturing. Such areas as M&S
in training and logistics analysis, as well as detailed discussion of systems
engineering, were considered as beyond the scope of the study.
The committee has identified steps for progress toward widespread,
systemic use of modeling and simulation in manufacturing and acquisition

of systems on four fronts: (1) enhancement of modeling and simulation
technology, (2) enhancement of information technology infrastructure, (3)
building experience in the use of modeling and simulation in large-scale
enterprises, and (4) addressing cultural changes needed if modeling and
simulation are to become truly important enablers for manufacturing and
acquisition. Recommended steps involve the federal government,
academia, and industry. They must be undertaken simultaneously in all
communities for meaningful progress to be realized.
