term ‘‘implementation’’ refers to— 
(1) the use of a technology or process in the 
manufacture of defense materiel; 
(2) the identification of a technology or process

record that has not yet achieved full rate production; 
or 
(3) the use of a technology or process for the 
manufacture of commercial items. 
(d) SCOPE.—The report shall include technologies or 
processes developed with funds appropriated or otherwise 
made available for Manufacturing Technology for fiscal

SEC. 238. MODELING, ANALYSIS, AND SIMULATION OF MILI-
TARY AND NON-MILITARY OPERATIONS IN 
COMPLEX URBAN ENVIRONMENTS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation Tech-
nology has become an essential component in ensur-
ing that we meet the defense challenges of the 21st 
century. It allows us to build and develop models of 
complex systems, effectively sharpen the tools, proce-
dures, and decisions needed to address difficult 
problems, and determine how certain actions will ef-
fect the end result before implementing the plan in 
real life, thereby providing strategic, tactical and fi-
nancial benefits. Every effort should be made to in-
clude Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Technology 
in the training and planning doctrines of the De-
partment of Defense.
