M&S in the Acquisition Lifecycle, Part I
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to describe the Pre-Acquisition M&S activities, and the M&S used in the initial phases of the Acquisition Lifecycle, using the progression of different modeling and simulation applications in use in each phase as a benchmark. They will be able to identify a particular tool and apply it appropriately to the correct point in the lifecycle and relate specific tools to the decision points that separate the acquisition phases. Further using extensive case study history from the commercial aviation and automotive industries, students will understand how industry concepts of Simulation-Based Lifecycle Engineering are integrated into selected phases of the program lifecycle to actually create products.
