Turkish Armed Forces,
Undersecretariat for Defence Industries
and Middle East Technical University.
 In 2001, it took the status of «center».
MODSIMMER’s ROLE
 To provide R&D services on M&S for
military and civil foundations.
 To build a bridge among public
institutions, industry and academia.
 To establish interaction between
stakeholders.
 To organize some M&S events, such as
USMOS, for sharing information.
 To provide the academic personnel and
the graduate students to make use of
MODSIMMER facilities.

Recent Studies in Turkey for M&S
 Validation, Verification and Accreditation (VV&A) Studies
 VV&A department in MODSIMMER.
 Standardization Studies
 «Suggestions for using M&S standards in Defence Industry» report
based on NATO MS3 group’s AMSP-01 (B) report.
 Many leading companies and universities gave support for this study.
Future R&D Studies in Turkey
Some R&D foresights in Turkey :
• Model repository,
• An integration environment,
• Common standards,
• Development of physical and behavioral models,
• Virtual reality in training simulators
Conclusion
 Awareness for the importance M&S in Turkey
 Collaboration with companies from other NATO countries.
 M&S companies in Turkey have demands to export their
products.
