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 vii

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. Peter E. Castro, Chair Committee on Modeling and Simulation Enhancements for 21 st Century Manufacturing and Acquisition viii

The Committee on Modeling and Simulation Enhancements for 21st Century Manufacturing and Acquisition was formed by the NRC in response to a request from the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) of DOD. The committee was asked to (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. To complete its task, the committee identified relevant trends and their impact on defense acquisition needs; current use and support for use of M&S within DOD; lessons learned from commercial manufacturing; three cross-cutting and especially challenging uses of M&S technologies; and the areas in which basic research is needed in M&S in order to achieve the desired goals for manufacturing and defense acquisition.
