Industry partners to NASA will simulate the missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond using integrated modeling and simulation tools and systems engineering methods that have been proven on NASA, DoD, and commercial programs. Integrated modeling and simulations are critical to the success of the VSE missions. In a recent NASA Capability Roadmaps Executive Summary, dated May 22, 2005, NASA defined an overarching road map of needs fundamental to the success of the VSE initiatives. As stated in Roadmap 14 of that report, "...the overriding priority should be to develop an architecture and structure for integration of advanced modeling, simulation and analysis (AMSA) capabilities, so that interoperability and communication can be incorporated along with improvements to existing codes. The impact of a highly integrated AMSA capability within NASA will enable exploration of a significantly wider range of alternatives during mission or system development, and to considerably better understand performance and risks. These stated requirements are forming the basis of initial efforts by NASA, with industry support, to find executable solutions to integrating M&S capabilities that to date have traditionally been related, but disconnected. M&S capabilities that cover engineering, science, and operations have often been standalone functional disciplines that relied heavily on M&S capabilities, but data sharing between these simulations has not been the normal practice for M&S developments. Key to NASA objectives is the need to break down the barriers between these tightly coupled disciplines. Industry has done just that on several other programs that can provide lessons learned on how to approach these VSE integrated modeling and simulation needs. This paper conveys how these there functional areas have been integrated in their M&S disciplines on the ground-based midcourse defense (GMD) missile defense program. Industry has been supporting NASA architecture studies using sophisticated M&S capabilities that include life cycle cost (LCC) estimates, risk management (RM) assessments, and relative comparison of a wide range of alternatives. These tools, as well as many other used on other programs, can provide NASA and all of its' team members with solutions to the needs for integrated modeling and simulations. This paper discusses those lessons learned from the architecture studies, and from other programs such as GMD, and how those lessons learned can shape a successful integrated modeling and simulation capability to take us back to the moon, on to Mars, and then beyond.
