InDependent Verification and Validation (IV&V)

Trusted analysis using verified, validated and accredited practices.

RTR Technologies provides Independent Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) services to ensure third-party modeling and simulation (M&S) tools are technically sound, faithfully represent real-world systems, and are fit for their intended purpose. Through rigorous assessment, our VV&A process confirms that simulation models are built correctly (verification), behave as expected in operational contexts (validation), and meet the standards required for accreditation by stakeholders and oversight authorities.

VV&A is not only a quality assurance tool—it’s a proactive strategy for risk mitigation. By identifying potential errors or limitations early in the modeling life cycle, RTR helps clients avoid costly setbacks and build confidence in decision-support tools. Our team integrates VV&A throughout the entire M&S lifecycle—from conceptual design and implementation to application and sustainment—ensuring models remain accurate, credible, and mission-ready.

RTR Projects Include:

• M&S planning and management of the model V&V effort for the Navy’s P-8A Poseidon Program, which involves planning and documentation for approximately 100 models.

• Verification, validation and an accreditation recommendation for the F/A-18 Inventory Forecasting Tool.

• Supported the verification and validation of Aircraft Inventory Module of the Naval
