3.0 Background

3.1 The requires the continued provision of advanced modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A) software, comprehensive maintenance, and engineering services.

This requirement is paramount to enhancing core test and evaluation capabilities for complex weapon systems and ensuring seamless operational continuity within its legacy, comprehensive AGI software environment. This acquisition addresses the growing imperative to leverage proven, physics-based simulation technology to optimize test processes, mitigate strain on physical test infrastructure, accelerate development timelines, enhance security for sensitive programs, and ensure direct correlation with digital engineering models. has made significant investments into building workflows and processes to use Ansys M&S software, but has been historically hampered by: inefficient license management, ineffective usage as scale, increased contracting workload for individual purchases, This effort will look to streamline purchasing and support across the enterprise.
