Simulation Based Acquisition (SBA) is a joint Industry and Department of Defense initiative to define an acquisition process that employs a robust, collaborative use of simulation technology to integrate the process across acquisition phases and programs. The intent of the initiative is to reduce the time, resources and risk associated with acquisition while enabling the Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) and the quality of the product. In 1998, a Joint SBA Task Force developed an SBA Road Map. This document presented an approach to bring about SBA. This paper will review the background and concept of SBA, and summarize the SBA Road Map that forms the basis for any Implementation Plan.
