This project has been put in place to contribute to the Department of Defense's automation engineering and modernization program. It is the intent of the Automated Data Conversion Program Office within OSD to implement simulation models of major weapon systems so that rapid prototyping and computer-aided engineering systems can be utilized for the greatest economization of both time and money", stated Tom Casey, AUDRE's Chief Executive Officer.
