VWS Forum Mission

• The Vehicle/Weapon Systems Forum (VWS) focuses on
  the development and reuse of vehicle/weapon
  system simulations, including manned and unmanned
  weapons which operate in space, air, ground, and
  sea environments.
• The VWS Forum addresses the representation of
  vehicle/weapon systems in constructive, virtual,
  and live simulations at the engineering,
  engagement, mission, and campaign levels of
  aggregation.

VWS Forum Goals

• Facilitate Standards
• Standards for Vehicle/Weapon System model
  development
• Exploring New Simulation Issues, Uses and
  Processes
• Simulation-Based Acquisition (SBA)
• Smart Product Models/Distributed Product
  Descriptions
• Simulation of New Weapon Systems
• Embedded Simulation
• Present Practical Advice, Tools and Lessons
  Learned
• Developing HLA Simulations and Converting from
  DIS
• Applying Interoperable Simulations/Simulators
• Capturing and Sharing Simulation Building Blocks
• SOMs and FOMs
• Conceptual Models or Abstractions
• Reusable Code and Data
