A new TD-info supported MOD Defence Modelling and Simulation Centre (DMSO) industry engagement workshops has now been announced.

The Defence Modelling and Simulation Office (DMSO) – sits within UK StratCom Joint Warfare with pan-Defence responsibilities. DMSO provides improved coordination and coherence of MOD M&S activity to promote both VfM and improved M&S capability across the Defence Enterprise. It ‘champions’ the role of Modelling & Simulation (M&S), informs and advocates policy, and exploits opportunities for greater cost-effectiveness and consistency through the sharing of M&S knowledge and resources. DMSO will promote and create partnerships with Industry, Academia, OGDs and International Partners to secure these aims.

An industry wide investigation and advice task into the DMSO Defence Synthetic Environment Programme (DSEP) will look at: What should a pan-Defence M&S Ecosystem be? What should it deliver? How should it deliver?

DMSO are seeking a comprehensive view from industry on how to increase the use and effectiveness of M&S across Defence from R&D through to Operations. What does MOD need to do to enable industry to deliver more effectively and to be more agile.

DMSO are looking for an industry perspective across three different levels using focused workshops at this event on:

1. Workshop on Strategic Development – Partners To design, build, integrate and deliver the solutions & components for a cohesive pan-Defence M&S ecosystem delivered via DSEP.
2. Workshop on Service Partners – Vendors who can provide M&S data, components, services, and applications to meet current and future needs.
3. Workshop on Solution Partners – Companies and end users who should benefit from DSEP to deliver more effective solutions into Defence, whether that’s R&D, T&E, Training or Operations

Why get involved?

Your contribution will enable you to understand the direction of travel from within Defence, shape, influence and assist MOD in its future direction for Modelling & Simulation.

There is also the opportunity to work as part of a team with equally capable and knowledgeable organisations within Defence and the wider digital community.

This is an opening for wider industry experience and best practice to be showcased within the Defence environment.

This will enable:

• Understanding of how focus areas will interact to realise a future end state.
• Articulation of requirements for Modelling & Simulation capability across the enterprise
• Development of capability roadmaps
• Alignment, pull through and learning from representative Modelling & Simulation capabilities.
• Assessment of potential system solutions and recommendations for future development

Demonstrate and influence the current and future state of Modelling & Simulation within MOD and industry partners:

• As development partners
• As data, application and or service providers
• As end users for capability delivery
