SURVIAC Scope and Resources
Survivability of weapons systems is key in today’s defense environment. New lethal threats and defense cutbacks have made protection against and reduction of weapon system losses critical to maintaining our defensive forces. At the same time, concern and sensitivity to any of our own losses or casualties have never been higher. The survivability/vulnerability community must apply lessons learned from combat and tests to improve future system design, performance capability, and survivability against anticipated lethal and nonlethal threats. The challenge for the survivability professional is to glean insights from combat and test data, find leading-edge technology solutions, and apply approved state-of-the-art methodologies. That is why the DoD created the Survivability/Vulnerability Information Analysis Center (SURVIAC)

SURVIAC is a centralized information resource for all aspects of nonnuclear survivability, lethality, and mission effectiveness activities. SURVIAC provides information resources and analytical services to support scientists, engineers, analysts and program managers engaged in designing and improving weapon systems for the warfighter. In a tight budget environment it is essential to make efficient use of credible models and simulations to support acquisition, test and evaluation and warfighter operations.

This importance of models and simulation is underscored by a DoD initiative such as Simulation Based Acquisition. Thus, an important part of SURVIAC operations is distributing selected computer models to U.S. Government organizations and their contractors. SURVIAC’s analysts provide additional value added support on these models by responding to requests and can carry out in-depth analysis for special studies and tasks. In addition, SURVIAC maintains a network of experts in Government, industry, and academia to draw upon to answer technical questions and support special studies. The JASPO and JTCG/ME computer models entered into SURVIAC have been specifically designated by these government agencies as standard methodologies for wide use within DoD organizations.

 

Modeling Services
The models in the repository have not been developed by SURVIAC but typically are products of other government agencies, JASPO and JTCG/ME. SURVIAC provides the DoD community with comprehensive survivability and lethality modeling services that include model distribution and expert technical support. SURVIAC’s involvement in modeling support involves active support for current models as well as introduction of new models in the survivability and lethality topic areas.

How To Acquire Modeling Services

Model requesters can contact SURVIAC by telephone, letter, email, fax, or visit. Each request should specify the computer and operating systems on which the model will execute as well as the desired media - CD, tape, etc. All requesters will receive a “Memorandum of Agreement” (MOA) which must be completed and returned to SURVIAC and be on file before any software can be released. Copies of the MOA are available from SURVIAC.

This statement must be signed by the requester and, for contractors, also by the contractor’s Government contracting agent to certify need-to-know. Documentation comes on the same CD as the model. If hard copies of the documents are desired, nominal documentation copying costs are additional to the basic charge. Information on model workshops can also be obtained by contacting SURVIAC.

SURVIAC will notify all registered users about meeting or workshops pertaining to their specific model. Model workshop fees vary based on the resources required for workshop preparation and conduct. These fees typically include the cost of the model and documentation. User group meetings are informal and have only a nominal charge for administration expenses. For frequent users, the SURVIAC subscription plan can provide a substantial savings over the individual purchase price of modeling services. The basic subscription plan includes the price of one model/documentation set and allows half-price attendance for up to two persons per organization for each workshop. The SURVIAC subscription option is a cost effective way for an organization to build its analysis capabilities.
