Department of defense news release (July 28, 2005): four winners selected for modeling and simulation awards.The Department of Defense announced today that four winners have been selected for the seventh annual Department of Defense Modeling and Simulation (M & S) Awards. The winners for each category are: ACQUISITION Joint Services Lightweight Standoff stand·off n. 1. A tie or draw, as in a contest. 2. A situation in which one force neutralizes or counterbalances the other. 3. A standoff insulator. adj. Standoffish. Chemical Agent Detector Team, Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Defense Team award for innovation in the employment of a comprehensive M & S approach to support systems engineering analysis. Future standoff detection and contamination avoidance programs will use this effort as a baseline for implementing best engineering practices, which will lead to improved chemical, biological, radiological radiological pertaining to radiology. radiological diagnosis see radiological diagnosis. mobile radiological apparatus x-ray machines that can be moved but are not portable because of their weight. , and nuclear systems, and a greater capability for the warfighter. ANALYSIS Joint Analysis Team, Headquarters and Support Activities Joint Cross-Service Group (Center for Army Analysis, Air Force Studies and Analysis Agency, Center for Naval Analyses The Center for Naval Analyses (The CNA Corporation) is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for the Department of the Navy, which includes both the Navy and the Marine Corps. ) Team award for providing senior DoD leaders with groundbreaking and innovative analytical solutions to complex challenges during the Base Realignment and Closure Base Realignment and Closure (or BRAC) is a process of the United States federal government directed at the administration and operation of the Armed Forces, used by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and Congress to close excess military installations and realign review. TRAINING U.S. Air Force Distributed Mission Operations Center The facility or location on an installation, base, or facility used by the commander to command, control, and coordinate all crisis activities. See also base defense operations center; command center. , 505th Distributed Warfare Group Team award for producing unmatched immersive synthetic combat environments for Air Force Virtual Flag exercises that linked the operational and tactical levels of war, directly increased joint readiness See: readiness. , and put the warfighter in charge of driving training transformation requirements. CROSS-FUNCTION Geometric Pairing Development Team, U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command Team award for advancing "state-of-the-art" live force-on-force simulation, and the realistic integration of live, virtual, and constructive synthetic environments that will ultimately permit warfighters to truly train as they fight and operational testers to test as the warfighters fight. The annual awards recognize achievement in support of DoD M & S objectives. Forty-eight nominations were received from across DoD.
