Methodology and Process for a Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis (MS&A)-Powered Analytical Wargame

The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP) is a five-nation defense innovation network that harnesses science and technology in support of the defense and national security of the participant nations. The 2019 TTCP Scrum Event’s objective, sponsored by the Aerospace Systems group, was to enhance the military capability of current and future systems through collaborative research and innovation. The primary goal of this effort was to contribute to a shared understanding of the benefits of a MS&A-powered wargame-like event while examining future concepts. The 2019 Scrum Event was a collaborative event demonstrating a new approach of MS&A capabilities to FVEY partners fostering future TTCP scrum processes and relationships. This paper will discuss the resultant simulation environment, analysis methodology comparing constructive and virtual simulation, provide an overview of the scrum’s origins, purpose, and composition, and provide high-level results, outcomes, and lessons learned.
