Abstract: The Navy's Program Executive Office for Theater Surface Combatants (PEO TSC) has embarked on a program to use advances in simulation technology to significantly improve system acquisition through the use of validated federated simulations. As a result PEO(TSC) has developed an engineering-level High Level Architecture federation focused on Integrated Ship Defense (ISD). The, ISD federation development approach uses a mode 1-test- model paradigm to evaluatate the federation's potential to support Test and Evaluation (T&E). While this project is not complete, this paper discusses preliminary lessons learned from the federation verfication and validation (V&V) effort, and comments on the complex, evolving inter-relationship between simulation, V& V, and T&E. The JSD federation is intended to closely represent the actual anti-air warfare combat system installed on Navy ships and includes both tactical code-in-the-loop and detailed physics-based simulations. The ISD federation simulates systeni-level effectiveness, specfically the measures of effectiveness and measures of performance ssociated with the development and operational tests for the Ship Self Defense System Mark 1. Using the data collected from these tests and comparing results to simulated test scenarios, we employ a model-test-model approach to conduct V&V on the federation.
