M&S in the Acquisition Lifecycle, Part II
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to describe the M&S used in the final 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. They will be able to identify sustainment and training support M&S for a representative system. Further using extensive case study history from the commercial pharmaceutical industry and change management case history, students will understand how emergent industry concepts of Simulation-Based Lifecycle Engineering facilitate new insights into reducing the time, resources, and risks while accommodating related change within industry.
