{{Context|date=October 2009}}
In the USA the Director for Test Systems Engineering and Evaluation (DTSE&E) commissioned in 1995 a one-year study to assess the effectiveness of the use of M&S in weapon systems acquisition and support processes.<ref>"Modeling and Simulation in Manufacturing and Defense Acquisition: Pathways to Success", {{ISBN|0-309-08666-3}}, {{ISBN|978-0-309-08666-0}}, [National Research Council](/source/United_States_National_Research_Council), 2002 [http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=10425#toc]</ref>

The DTSE&E study developed an approach to acquisition which was named '''simulation-based acquisition''' ('''SBA''').

DTSE&E was disestablished  by the US [Secretary of Defense](/source/United_States_Secretary_of_Defense) on 7 June 1999; some functions were transferred to the [Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E)](/source/Director%2C_Operational_Test_and_Evaluation_(DOT%26E)).<ref>"Federal Funds for Research and Development, Detailed Historical Tables: Fiscal Years 1951–2002", [National Science Foundation](/source/National_Science_Foundation), August 2003 [https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf03325/pdf/appendix.pdf]</ref>
