Mission
The mission of the NATO Modelling and Simulation (M&S) Group (NMSG) is to promote co-operation among Alliance bodies, NATO Member Nations and PfP Nations to maximise the effective utilisation of M&S.

The NMSG adopts the Code of Ethics
The NMSG members agreed that the work undertaken on behalf of the NMSG follows the SCS Code of Professional Ethics for Simulationists http://www.scs.org/ethics/. The document is also available in in the NMSG password-protected area under the MSG Documents tab.

NATO HLA Compliance Certification
The High Level Architecture (HLA) is the preferred Simulation Interoperability Standard recognized by NATO as early as 1998. HLA is an international standard as defined in IEEE and also STANAG 4603. To support proper use of HLA, the NMSG has established an HLA Compliance Certification Capability. This capability is distributed between NATO/PfP Nations and offered as a not for profit service to verify the capabilities of models and simulations relevant to being technically compliant with the HLA standard.

NATO Simulation Resource Library
The NATO Simulation Resource Library (NSRL) is a development tool provided by the NMSG and RTA to aid reusability of simulation resources within the RTO community - registration via RTO Web Site.

NATO Modelling & Simulation Standards Subgroup: MS3
The NMSG subgroup MS3 finalised the first edition of the new Allied Publication entitled NATO M&S Standards Profile AMSP-01. This publication provides a comprehensive set of Standards that are recommended for use in the Modelling & Simulation domain. The document has been forwarded to the NATO Standatization Agency (NSA) for promulgation and inclusion in NATO Standardization Documentation Database (NSDD).
