 Simulation-based acquisition

Simulation-based acquisition (SBA) is a method used primarily in military and defense procurement that incorporates modeling and simulations into the acquisition process. The objective is to improve decision-making, reduce costs, and enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of acquiring complex systems and products. Key components of simulation-based acquisition include: 1. **Modeling and Simulation**: SBA employs computer-based models and simulations to visualize and analyze system performance, operational scenarios, and various acquisition options.
