The Army Model and Simulation Office (AMSO) provides institutional support for SMART, the U. S. Army initiative that promotes the robust use of M&S integrated across acquisition programs and phases to reduce Total Ownership Costs (TOC), provide quicker delivery of products to the field, while simultaneously increasing military utility and worth. The concept of SMART is to more closely integrate the efforts of the requirements, acquisition, and training communities through the use of modeling and simulation. SMART fosters collaboration among the three communities by integrating modeling and simulation starting early in the acquisition process, creating a large trade space among performance, cost, design, manufacturing, supportability, and training, with the ultimate result of providing systems with greater utility, lower cost, and less burden on the operations and sustainment budget.
