Data-Driven Modeling and Simulation to Test the Internet of War Things

Our warfighters need an integrated view from the sea floor to space and through cyberspace to defeat our adversaries and safeguard our Nation.  Comprehensive live testing of these capabilities is not possible due to environmental, fiscal, safety, classification, and ethical constraints, and so our evaluations will become more dependent on modeling and simulation (M&S) to test the efficacy and interoperability of our systems. This paper presents our vision for how all-domain modeling and simulation will be developed and used by DOT&E and the DOD Test and Evaluation (T&E) enterprise for the credible, data-backed T&E of our Nation’s warfighting capabilities.
