AFAMS VisionThe <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> Center of Excellence <strong>for</strong> modeling andsimulation delivering realistic, reusable, and costeffectivetools <strong>for</strong> operations, training, analysis, andacquisition support – ensuring the contributions of air,space & cyberspace are accurately represented to theJoint Warfighter.
AFAMS <strong>Mission</strong>• Ensure appropriate representation of air, space andcyberspace in <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> models and simulations• Integrate and ensure interoperability of <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> modelsand simulations• Coordinate <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> modeling and simulation support <strong>for</strong>Service, Joint, Inter-<strong>Agency</strong> and Coalition events• Develop and maintain appropriate modeling andsimulation skills and knowledge <strong>for</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> personnel
AFAMS Focus Areas• Lead <strong>for</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> live-virtual-constructive (LVC) integration:Establish the LVC environment <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong>• Oversight of constructive simulation: Expand and modernizea constructive environment <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong>• Coordinate event support: Ensure modeling and simulationsupport to <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> sanctioned exercises• Develop modeling and simulation work<strong>for</strong>ce• Increase community awareness of the AFAMS mission
LVC DefinitionsVirtual – “…involving real peopleoperating simulated systems. ”Live – “… involving real peopleoperating real systems.”Constructive – “…. involve simulated people operatingsimulated systems (machine-to-machine).”
