May 20 — A $2.5 billion contract to provide planning, modeling, simulation and training solutions to the Army and Department of Defense (DoD) has been awarded to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC).
This contract signifies the growing need for simulation training to prepare troops for combat. Despite budget constraints, Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is expanding as technological improvements develop. M&S is the more viable and cost-effective option for tomorrow’s armed forces.
