 SIMULATION-BASED ACQUISITION (SBA)

Vision
…to have an Acquisition Process in
Simulation Based Acquisition

which DoD and Industry are enabled by

An Emerging Reality

robust, collaborative use of simulation

technology that is integrated across
acquisition phases and programs.

Goals
• Substantially reduce the time, resources and risk associated
with the entire acquisition process;
• Increase the quality, military worth and supportability of
fielded systems, while reducing their operating and
sustaining costs throughout the total life cycle;
• Enable Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD)
across the entire acquisition life cycle.
 DoD Principles of Simulation-Based Acquisition

• Advanced information technology applications.

• Comprehensive functional assessments, i.e. design, support,

manufacturing, achieving reduced risk and more informed decisions

An Emerging Reality

• Early optimization of system performance vs. total ownership cost.

• Total ownership cost minimization thru standards-based reuse of
information and software.
• More optimal program investments enabled by system of systems
mission area assessments.
• Enduring collaborative environments with reusable, interoperable
tools and supporting resources
• Automated near-real-time sharing of relevant information among all
personnel, [ distributed product description ] thru a common technical
architecture; and open, commercial, data interchange standards.

 In closing,
• Simulation-Based Acquisition is:
– the Integrated Use of Simulations and Information
– On an Integrated / Networked Information System
Simulation Based Acquisition

(DoD mandates an Integrated Digital Environment)

An Emerging Reality

– Enabling Integrated Product & Process Development

• Simulation-Based Acquisition is:

– the DoD initiative to accelerate acquisition

• DSMC is utilizing SBA to expand its SE education

• ALL DSMC courses are open to industry (formal agreement

with CODSIA)
• Any company is eligible; tuition-free!
