Produce publication quality reports which define the foundation for simulation credibility across all stakeholders and provide the artifacts to support formal simulation Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VVA). Innovate to solve problems and identify improvements across MSE&A products. Performs operational analysis and mission effectiveness analysis. Develops new and/or integrates existing system simulation frameworks, performance models and algorithms, threat models and command and control models. Models operational environments, performs trade studies via computer simulation and recommends alternative architectures. Simulates real-time operations and develops software that simulates behavior of systems. Develops, integrates, and uses advanced graphical user interfaces and visualization tools.
