Air Force wins two modeling, simulation awards Published April 12, 2006 WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- The Air Force has won two of the five awards presented by the Department of Defense in modeling and simulation.Air Force winners are: Analysis: Weapon Effects Analysis and Probability System Team, Air Force Materiel Command. The team was awarded for developing and maintaining a world-class software simulation tool highly valued by warfighters. The system supports combatant command requests for campaign, theater and engagement analyses of air-to-surface munitions effectiveness.Test and Evaluation: Maj. Kelly Greene, Ph.D., Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation. Major Greene was a significant contributor to advancing modeling and simulation in support of test and evaluation. The major innovated and transformed testing and evaluation at both the Air Force and joint levels. Major Greene is directly responsible for the largest progression of distributed testing and evaluation ever recorded in a single year. The other awards went to:Acquisition: Joint Attack Munitions Systems Project Office, U.S. Army program executive office for missiles and space. Team award for developing an innovative approach for simulation based acquisition. Training: U.S. Army Maj. Daniel Ray, office of the Army deputy chief of staff, G-2. Individual award for developing the "Every Soldier is a Sensor Simulation" to increase situational awareness on the battlefield. Cross-Function: Training Improvised Explosive Device Team, Army program executive office for simulation, training and instrumentation. Team award for providing a safe and realistic training system to replicate the IEDs used against coalition forces by Iraqi insurgents. The annual awards, to be presented May 2, will recognize achievement in DOD modeling and simulation. Seventy-nine nominations were received from across DOD.(Courtesy of Department of Defense News Service)
