SIMBASE was a three year research and technology project set up under the Western European Armaments Group (WEAG) in 2004 and transferred to the European Defence Agency (EDA) in 2006. The challenge for the project was to deliver a practical demonstration of SeBA/SBA. This demonstration was to investigate the following key aspects:

• a coherent and consistent approach to the acquisition process;
• effective and efficient systems engineering processes;
• software interoperability through the use of open, neutral standards;
• modelling and simulation supporting the overall engineering process.

The project participants were:

• United Kingdom (UK) MoD (Ministry of Defence), Directorate of Analysis, Experimentation & Simulation;
• MoD Italy (IT);
• MoD Norway (NO), represented by FFI (Norwegian Defence Research Establishment);
• Datamat (IT);
• Jotne EPM Technology (NO);
• LSC Group (UK).

The project participants conducted a one-day demonstration event (note: 7MB download) in London on 2007-03-15 and have also produced an Executive Summary to give an overview of the project results.
