METU-TAF MODSIMMER

MODSIMMER was established

as a Research & Development laboratory in 1998,

with the collaboration of Turkish Armed Forces, Undersecretariat for Defence Industries and Middle East Technical University.

In 2001, it took the status of «center».

MODSIMMER’s ROLE

To provide R&D services on M&S for military and civil foundations.

To build a bridge among public institutions, industry and academia.

To establish interaction between stakeholders.

To organize some M&S events, such as USMOS, for sharing information.

To provide the academic personnel and the graduate students to make use of MODSIMMER facilities.

Recent Studies in Turkey for M&S

Validation, Verification and Accreditation (VV&A) Studies VV&A department in MODSIMMER.

Standardization Studies «Suggestions for using M&S standards in Defence Industry» report

based on NATO MS3 group’s AMSP-01 (B) report. Many leading companies and universities gave support for this study.

Future R&D Studies in Turkey

Some R&D foresights in Turkey :

• Model repository,

• An integration environment,

• Common standards,

• Development of physical and behavioral models,

• Virtual reality in training simulators

Conclusion

Awareness for the importance M&S in Turkey

Collaboration with companies from other NATO countries.

M&S companies in Turkey have demands to export their products.
