6. 3D Geospatial M&S Summit 19 September 2016, Orlando FL
Goals
Understand current M&S programs and direction
Engage community in discussion on the needs and approach for higher order interoperability for M&S
Discuss “model of the world” vision
Discuss possible next steps
100+ in attendance from across DOD - services, agencies; UK MOD, industry, SDOs

7. General Outcomes
A greater level of standards based interoperability is needed
Cooperation between relevant SDOs and associations is critical
Must support today’s capabilities and modernization now underway
Desire to prototype and demonstrate new levels of interoperability to help drive change
The vision of a single 3D Geospatial M&S model of the world has support by many, but not by all

8. 3D Geospatial M&S Summit Follow On Meeting, 13 April 2017 Hosted by ARA, Orlando
Goals:
Reaffirm Common Vision, Stakeholder interest to continue dialog
Agree on initial governance process
Generate White Paper to inventory major efforts, document current interoperability state, articulate interoperability vision
Prepare initial Road map of activities, milestones to bootstrap process
Meeting minutes and presentations:
