Welcome to the DoD VV&A Documentation Tool (DVDT)
The DoD VV&A Documentation Tool (DVDT) addresses the need to capture VV&A information in a consistent
form with consistent content. The DVDT supports the various DoD- and Service-level Communities by
producing standardized VV&A documentation and meeting net-centric architecture requirements for
sharing, discovering, and retrieving VV&A information within the Global Information Grid
(GIG) Enterprise.
The DVDT automates the standardized DoD VV&A documentation templates formalized in the DoD
Standard Practice Documentation of Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A)
for Models and Simulations (MIL-STD-3022).
Automation of the templates saves producers time by expediting the VV&A documentation
production process and ensuring standardization of content and format across DoD and the Military Departments.
This site supports authentication to Department of Defense (DoD) information systems using Common Access Card (CAC) and DoD External Certificate Authority (ECA) Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) digital certificates.
