Abstract
This thesis endeavors to determine how effective a role high performance computing played in the Program Definition and Risk Reduction (PDRR) and early Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phases of the RAH-66 Comanche program. In so doing, the various modeling and simulation efforts used in the Comanche program are explored and their utility and efficacy determined. This study provides insights into the places to insert high performance computing into the simulation based acquisition process for best effect. In addition, it uncovers the best uses of modeling and simulation in the Comanche program, which can serve as a guide for other simulation based acquisition programs.
