The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Mission — Modeling & Simulation Support
This Program Element supports activities and projects conducted by the Navy Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Office (NMSO). It enables technical and management initiatives that bring organization, focus, and efficiency to the development and use of M&S throughout the Navy and the Department of the Navy (DON). NMSO provides a central organization for the formulation and implementation of policy and guidance in M&S and represents Navy interests in Department of Defense (DoD), Joint, and other agency initiatives. It funds efforts to define and coordinate Enterprise Navy M&S policy, execution, and guidance to evolve an interoperable and reusable core M&S capability consistent with the DoD's technical frameworks across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). Navy M&S priorities include interoperability and composability, effective capability use and reuse, and the incorporation of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) products to help determine the networks, infrastructure, and data needed to support Enterprise Navy M&S capabilities. These leverage M&S standards, information systems, virtual environments, and collaborative design and development systems that support analysis, acquisition, training, and warfighting decision-making. NMSO's efforts are organized around three product areas: (1) Core Services: This activity provides leadership and essential planning, program and financial management, and execution of NMSO efforts as well as coordination with the other Services, the Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Staff, and other agencies. It also oversees initiatives to develop, promulgate, and track the policies and procedures necessary to support the creation of a robust and credible capability to create synthetic environments, accurately represent platforms and systems, predict outcomes, and provide inputs to Naval decision-makers and operational users. (2) Community Services: This activity provides M&S community-wide services, digital ecosystems, and technical exchanges; M&S plans and standards; and verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) handbooks and codes of best practice. It also develops M&S procurement guidance, digital engineering strategic goals, and supports M&S discovery and reuse capabilities across the DON and Navy M&S communities. (3) Community Experiments and Prototypes: This activity develops and executes experiments and prototypes focused on the advancement of M&S capabilities and technologies to increase M&S efficiency and effectiveness in its application across the Navy Enterprise.

CORE SERVICES
This activity provides leadership and essential planning, program and financial management, and execution of NMSO efforts as well as coordination with the other Services, the Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Staff, and other agencies. It also oversees initiatives to develop, promulgate, and track the policies and procedures necessary to support the creation of a robust and credible capability to create synthetic environments, accurately represent platforms and systems, predict outcomes, and provide inputs to Naval decision-makers and operational users. These core services support the DON and Navy-wide M&S alignment, planning, and execution, as well as NMSO's community services and community experiments and prototypes. It oversees the generation and application of M&S and VV&A policy, standards, guidance, and codes of best practice. It also provides guidance on documenting M&S support plans, capability summaries, and associated data in a way that is discoverable and reusable.
COMMUNITY SERVICES
This activity provides M&S community-wide services, digital ecosystems, and technical exchanges; M&S plans and standards; and verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) handbooks and codes of best practice. It also develops M&S procurement guidance, digital engineering strategic goals, and supports M&S discovery and reuse capabilities across the DON and Navy M&S communities. Community Services promote greater M&S use and reuse through enhancing asset discovery, creating and distributing practical implementation handbooks and codes of best practice, leveraging and extending M&S and DE standards, providing tailored training, and engaging with Navy M&S Communities to understand requirements, current capabilities, and future technology needs. It provides Navy Enterprise requirements to the Leveraging Innovations, Frameworks, and Technologies (LIFT) Environment, and builds out collaboration spaces for Navy M&S; Core Models, Simulations, Data, and Tools; Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A); and the Navy Digital Engineering Body of Knowledge, amongst other areas. Also included in this area is the creation and delivery of M&S specific training, like on Validation, Modeling, and Accreditation. Finally, it supports M&S related educational and research efforts.
COMMUNITY EXPERIMENTS and PROTOTYPES
This activity develops and executes experiments and prototypes focused on the advancement of M&S capabilities and technologies to increase M&S efficiency and effectiveness in its application across the Navy Enterprise. It supports project prototypes and experiments to help determine the feasibility and applicability of innovative technical approaches, employment concepts, and proposed standards within Navy M&S. It also investigates Service-unique requirements to achieve M&S efficiency, effectiveness, and interoperability. It develops prototype tools designed to improve the access and use of operationally relevant M&S products to support Navy training, warfare assessments, and acquisition requirements. This activity focuses on supporting Navy acquisition and warfighting priorities like the seamless incorporation of digital engineering in M&S applications, making progress on priorities to include Long Range Fires and the implementation of the Naval Operational Architecture (NOA). Individual efforts focus on developing capabilities to optimize training, assessment, and acquisition functional and mission objectives through more efficient development and use of M&S.
