Modeling and Simulation is frequently used in Test and Evaluation (T&E) of air-to-air weapon systems to evaluate the effectiveness of a weapons. The AirIntercept Missile-9X (AIM-9X) program uses modeling and simulationextensively to evaluate missile miss distances. Since flight testing isexpensive, the test program uses relatively few flight tests and supplementsthose data with large numbers of miss distances from simulated tests acrossthe weapons operational space. However, before modeling and simulation canbe used to predict performance it must first be validated....

To mark IDA’s 60th anniversary, we are conducting a series of workshops and symposia that bring together IDA sponsors, researchers, experts inside and outside government, and other stakeholders to discuss issues of the day. These events focus on future national security challenges, reflecting on how past lessons and accomplishments help prepare us to deal with complex issues and environments we face going forward. This publication represents the proceedings of the Science of Test Workshop....
