OVERVIEWOVERVIEW• Florida’s Modeling, Simulation & Training (MS&T)
Cluster
• Meeting National requirements
• Big impact on Florida’s economy
• Team Orlando--Academia, Industry, Government and the Research Park
• Medical MS&T --“a bright future”
• The support role of the National Center for Simulation (NCS)

SIMULATIONSIMULATION
• Simulations save lives, money & time
• M&S technologies are used in training, planning, analysis, engineering, test & evaluation
• Research can be performed using simulation instead of costly & 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

FLORIDA IS THE MS&T LEADERFLORIDA IS THE MS&T LEADER• M&S is a national “Critical Technology” with its epicenter in
Central FL• Florida has MS&T academic programs in high schools, an
Associate’s Degree at Daytona State College (funded by the Florida High Tech Corridor Council) & a Doctoral Program at UCF
• UCF has established a network of incubators to nurture start-up MS&T companies
• Over 58,000 jobs in Florida support the MS&T industry

DoD’s MS&T CENTER OF EXCELLENCE DoD’s MS&T CENTER OF EXCELLENCE 2/22/2
• The Research Park• Adjacent to UCF—third largest University in the U.S.• Home for the National Center for Simulation and UCF’s
Institute for Simulation and Training (IST)• Home for the MS&T acquisition agencies of all the
Services except the Air Force• Surrounded by large cluster (>100) of MS&T companies • Proximity facilitates synergy between Academia, Industry
and Government found no where else in the world• Partnership, collaboration and teamwork lower
acquisition risk and are good for America • The State of Florida has stepped forward to fund force
protection measures to satisfy DoD requirements

MEDICAL MS&T MEDICAL MS&T
• A bright future
• Potential for spin-off of 60 years of world class MS&T work for DoD into medical MS&T
• Orlando’s Medical City
– Another arrow in the quiver of Team Orlando
– Cluster of world class medical facilities will attract the “best of the best”
– UCF’s Medical School—built from the ground up to include the latest in MS&T technology
– Influenced VA decision to establish a medical MS&T COE at new Lake Nona Medical Center
– Orlando already #1 destination in the world for medical conferences
