Navy M&S Governance Board

 Documents

The Navy M&S Governance Board (GB) was formed to aid in the oversight of M&S activities for the enterprise. The GB is chartered by and reports to the Navy Corporate Business Council (CBC). The M&S Governance Board works with M&S Community Leads (CLs) and relies on the Navy Modeling and Simulation Office (NMSO) as its Secretariat to assist the coordination of M&S efforts among existing Navy Functional Area Managers (FAMs), DoD CLs, USMC M&S Sponsors and other Component M&S leadership.

NAVY MODELING AND SIMULATION GOVERNANCE BOARD CHARTER

The GB is chaired by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition (ASN RD&A) Chief Systems Engineer (ASN RDA CHSENG).

The GB consolidated the twelve M&S functional areas into four SES Community Leads (CLs) consisting of:

• RDA CL (ASN RDA)
• Analysis CL (OPNAV N8)
• Training CL (U.S. Fleet Forces Command)
• USMC (U.S. Marine Corps)

NMSO functions as the GB's "action arm" by implementing policy guidance, and providing:

• Administrative support for CLs and the M&S community of users.
• Core services and products to improve M&S within, between, and across organizations in the community of users.
• Assistance to promote and implement cross cutting M&S projects that improve the Navy's M&S capabilities
