In support of the above, the Defence M&S Office (DMSO) seeks:

• value for money across the enterprise (highest priority)
• clearly identified modelling and simulation requirements
• conformance to agreed standards
• commonality and re-use of data, models and platforms
• consistent, enduring, accessible, agile and adaptable modelling and simulation solutions

Compliance

DMSO provides Assessment and Assurance for all Defence M&S against the direction provided in JSP 939. It also provides M&S Advice & Guidance.

Current activities

DMSO is engaged in a number of activities including:

• a systems of systems approach to promote coherent M&S capability
• a Defence Simulation Centre (DSC) that provides a single point of contact for all Defence M&S matters
• engagement with Industry and Academia via the DMSO Industry Advisory Group (DIAG)
