Modeling and Simulation

Modeling and Simulation (M&S) experts from Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) provide all branches of the U.S. military with environment scenarios used in warfighter training.  By providing realistic simulations and impacts of the environmental conditions likely to occur during a mission – spanning air, space, land and ocean – we help to improve  preparedness, precision and analysis.  For warfighters, it means a greater opportunity to achieve a successful mission.
