Abstract

Modelling and Simulation (M&S) has during recent years become increasingly important for the Swedish defence and a structured approach for model production was needed. For this, the Defence Conceptual Modelling Framework (DCMF) was created at the FOI, commissioned by the Swedish Military Headquarters. DCMF is generally about the creation of a formal process to produce conceptual models of mission spaces. An overview of the framework, mainly with focus on benefits for different users, is given together with references to more detailed information in this report. The current state is that the early stages of the process are well understood and better supported than the later ones. Future work will therefore be focused on the later stages in the process and to further refine the DCMF as a whole.
