• SSDD = System and Simulation Development

• “Systems” are:

– Aviation Systems

– Missile Systems

– Protection Systems

– Networked System of Systems

• “Simulations” are:

– Tools (mathematical, virtual, physical) used to represent systems

across environmental and threat conditions

• What SSDD brings:

– System Solutions derived through Analyses

– “Solutions” are:

• Models, Simulations, Physical Prototypes, Virtual Prototypes,

Conceptual Designs, Requirement Trades, Acquisition

Planning, Technology Transitions, and Payload Integrations

Lethality/Vulnerability

• Lots of challenges (sequestration, hiring freeze, etc.)…

• Yet have an expanding customer base – Army and other DoD

• Aviation and Missile-based, but have technologies that

transition into other areas (e.g., SPL, etc.).

• Always seeking to collaborate – with industry, with OGA, and

within AMRDEC…Always interested in pursuing sustainable,

new business opportunities.
