The purpose of this Allied Modelling & Simulation Publication (AMSP) Policy Document (APD) is to describe the Policy and Procedures involved with managing the AMSP series of NATO standards. The APD also provides guidance on selection and use of standards to promote interoperability, best practice and reuse in the Modelling and Simulation (M&S) domain. The APD is intended to address and support in particular, the establishment of a common technical framework to foster interoperability and reuse as defined in the NATO M&S Master Plan.
In support of the main objective as described above, this APD (that is maintained by the Modelling & Simulation Standards Subgroup (MS3) of NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG)) describes the policy and procedures that pertain to the AMSP suite of publications.
