About this file
This document outlines a broad agency announcement for the Secure Advanced Framework for Simulation and Modeling program. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is seeking proposals to develop an all-domain, multi-level security enabled modeling and simulation environment to support senior military decision makers, technology developers, and acquisition professionals. The environment will be used for concept of operations development, force structure composition, resource allocation, and targeted technology insertion. The agency will provide a dedicated secure facility with computing resources, individual secure networks allocated to performers, and continuous integration and deployment tools including Jenkins, Artifactory, Docker, Kubernetes, and an OpenStack-based cloud environment. The facility will offer best effort support for integration and short-term co-location of performer personnel.
