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 simulations at all
  levels of aggregation

VWS Forum Goals

• Facilitate Standards
• Standards for Vehicle/Weapon System model
  development
• Study Groups for areas of interest
• Exploring New Simulation Issues, Uses and
  Processes
• Simulation-Based Acquisition (SBA)
  Vehicle/Weapon Systems
• Simulation of New Vehicle/Weapon Systems and
  Technologies
• FCS, DD(X), JSF, NCW, etc.
• CGFs/SAFs which portray Vehicle and Weapon
  Systems
• Embedded Simulation for Vehicle and Weapon
  Systems
• Present Practical Advice, Tools and Lessons
  Learned
• Developing Interoperable Simulations with HLA/DIS
  
• Capturing and Sharing Simulation Building Blocks
• Models and Simulations
• SOMs and FOMs
• Conceptual Models or Abstractions
• Reusable Tools and Data
