... Additionally, the directorate has contact with the Training and Doctrine Command related to the improvement of wargaming techniques for evaluating tactics and to the Decision Related Structures modeling work. SLAD also has a number of ongoing intramilitary collaborations, including, for example, memberships on Source Selection Evaluation Boards and the Nuclear and Chemical Survivability Committee, participation in symposia, data exchange agreements with foreign partners, and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

... TILV is adding critical models, including Shock and Blast, Active Protection Systems, Military Operations in Urban Terrain, and Behind Armor Debris. Data management initiatives undertaken by SLAD will help the directorate deal with the thousands of data requests that it receives and will help leverage precious resources.
