Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is being used worldwide by the military, industry, and academia as a technological enabler to enhance analysis, acquisition, and training. This course introduces M&S concepts, explains how simulations work, explores how M&S is used, and forecasts where M&S technology is heading. Review model types and modeling methods to understand how simulations work. Survey typical and emerging M&S applications and study in depth three important M&S paradigms. Includes hands-on experience with simulations and developing simple simulations.

Topics Include:

• Simulation applications and purposes
• Common simulation tools
• M&S concepts
• Introduction to modeling
• Fidelity
• Simulation credibility
• M&S technology trends
