  1. Briefing to Florida Representatives Sponsored By Suzanne Kosmas (D-FL) Modeling And Simulation (M&S) Technology And Its Impact On Florida THOMAS L. BAPTISTE, Lt Gen, USAF (Ret) President/Executive Director National Center for Simulation (NCS) 3 February 2010

  2. Overview • About the National Center for Simulation (NCS) • Florida’s role in Modeling & Simulation (M&S) • Importance of M&S • National requirements • Impact on Florida’s economy • M&S Legislative Initiatives

  3. National Center for Simulation (NCS) • 501c(3) member organization headquartered in Orlando, FL • Approximately 150 U.S. and international members, with a high concentration in Central Florida • Provides a link between government, industry and academia to further M&S technology • Promotes the transfer of defense M&S technology to various applications: Medical, homeland security, education, transportation and entertainment • Supports Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and workforce development programs www.simulationinformation.com

  4. SIMULATION • Simulations save lives, money and time • M&S technologies are used in training, planning, analysis, engineering, test and evaluation • Research can be performed using simulation instead of costly and often times damaging live or “real world” events “Almost every soldier or Marine deployed to the Middle East is trained on some kind of system developed in Central Florida.” Orlando Sentinel, Jan. 11, 2009

  5. FLORIDA IS THE M&S LEADER • M&S is a national “Critical Technology” with its epicenter in Florida • Florida has M&S academic programs in high schools, an Associate’s Degree at Daytona State College (DSC) and Doctoral Program at UCF • Florida University incubators nurture M&S start-up companies • Over 55,000 jobs in Florida support the M&S industry

  11. M&s Economic Impact • More than 850 Florida Firms Involved in M&S • Employing more than 22,500 Floridians* • Average salary $66,000* • $4.5B Impact on Florida Gross State Product* • $7.8B Annual Sales Activity* • 58,000 Jobs Support M&S* *Based on a sampling/REMI Modeling of 122 M&S Companies in 2008 study funded by Florida High Tech Corridor Council

  12. M&S LEGISLATIVE initiatives • HR 855-Public Health Services Act Amendment for Medical Simulation • NAICS Code for M&S • Funding Higher Education Opportunity Act to support M&S in Education • HR 487- Naming M&S a “Critical Technology”

  13. UPCOMING EVENTS OF INTEREST • Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Winter Symposium & Exposition,24-26 February 2010 (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) • Advanced Initiatives in Medical Simulation (AIMS) Conference, 22-23 March 2010 (Washington, DC) • Training Simulation Industry Symposium,9-10 June 2010 (Orlando, FL) • Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC), 15-17 June 2010 (Tampa, FL)

  14. Summary • M&S technologies support the warfighter • M&S represents significant economic impact throughout Florida • M&S Caucus needs more Florida leadership • M&S legislation awaiting authorization and funding
