5. Justification Rationale:

The high-fidelity modeling and simulation of adversary capabilities is increasingly required to ensure the warfighting and acquisition communities have the insights needed to develop the operational plans and source materiel solutions under development at

. This translates to the increase in need for technical subject matter expertise in modeling and simulation standards, applications, source data, end customer requirements development, software prototyping, artificial intelligence algorithm creation & implementation, as well as foreign material exploitation.

Demand for A&AS support has steadily grown within by providing technical Intelligence Data (ID) program management office support in the solicitation, validating and submission of production requirements for needs to the joint community. Additional growth and expansion of

A&AS support has been realized within where Riverside Research Institute (RRI) provides invaluable integrated Command, Control, Computer and Communication (C4) analysis expertise to the integrated analysis flight , provides Computer- Aided Design (CAD) modeling expertise, foreign language linguist support to the as well as providing A&AS expertise in the validation/verification of models and refinement of model production quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC) processes.

Additionally, the explosion of intelligence data across all mission areas at has driven the need for technical research in data standards, policy establishment, processes, and procedures to ensure access to needed information at the right time, right place, and by the right units. Much of these efforts have demonstrated a reliance on A&AS support to assist the government in establishing requirements for the much-needed expanded, modernized, and flexible data architectures that seamlessly connect across mission partners. and are collectively using A&AS support for the

IC and partnering S&TI centers look to as thought leaders and designers of capabilities for the IC/DoD Intel Production Centers

RRI is poised to continue to be a force multiplier in the development and communication of ideas for the modernization and transformation of analysis at and abroad.

Aside from sustained growth of on-going A&AS efforts, new efforts have surged.
