Model–test–model

Model-Test-Model (MTM) is a process that intends to use high-fidelity/high-resolution combat models to simulate and replicate field operational tests. The MTM Process is divided into 5 phases:

• Long Term Planning - Identify the responsibility among interested organizations
• Pretest Modeling - Modeler creates a model of a subject under test
• Field Test - Modeler performs data gathering of subject under test
• Post Test Modeling - Subject under test model input parameters are matched with subject under test field test output values
• Model Validation/Accreditation - Modeler provides sufficient evidence to a tester that a simulation adequately replicates field testing
