Middle East Technical University - Turkish Armed Forces Modeling and Simulation Research and Development Center (METU-TAF MODSIMMER) is established to facilitate the development of an integrated Joint Operations Simulation System (JOSIMS) in line with 21st Century technologies and standards based on a collaboration agreement among Turkish Armed Forces (TAF), Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM) and Middle East Technical University (METU).
The METU-TAF Modeling and Simulation (MODSIM) joint activity was first initiated in June 1999 as a Research and Development (R&D) laboratory. Later, in May 2001, it took the center status, known as METU-TAF MODSIMMER. Nowadays, the center is planning to expand its activities in order to become a Center of Excellence for Modeling and Simulation Technologies with the support of State Planning Organization. Missions of center include the followings: • To help conduct basic and applied research and development necessary to realize analytical and simulation systems required for the achievement of JOSIMS, in terms of prototypes and products. • To facilitate the creation of technical infrastructure for JOSIMS, in terms of standards, procedures and technologies. • To provide education and training to raise the level of awareness and expertise regarding Military MODSIM applications. |

The center organization and its organs is showed in the below shema: 
- Administrative Board : Administrative Board consists of total 7 members, which are 3 members employed by METU president by taking the opinions of related Faculty and Institutions, 3 members employed by TAF and 1 member employed by UDI.
- The Center Administrator : The center administrator is employed for 3 years by METU president from among METU teaching staff, who has knowledge and experience about MODSIM and did research about MODSIM. The Center Administrator is the chief of personnel who work at MODSIM.
Consultative Board : Consultative Board consists of representatives defined by institutions, which has knowledge and experience to be able to serve to intend for being carried out of MODSIM targets or takes action about MODSIM in order to take the opinions and proposals about issues that administrative board needs.
- Managerial and Laboratory Units : Managerial and Laboratory Units assist the Center Administrator in the light of instructions prepared by the Center Administrative Board in respect to operating of METU-TAF MODSIMMER.
- Project Groups : It manages research, education and application activities intended for the center by means of laboratory units and project groups.

 Research studies directed towards development of basic concepts related to MODSIM technologies intended for defence has been doing and its infrastructure has been developed. A suitable environment is created for RE-DE studies intended for defence applications of TAF members in METU’s related another programs and MODSIM master program in METU organization.
By education programs in METU: - Meeting of professional personnel needs in the area of MODSIM of Defence Industry - Development and spreading of academic research interdisciplinary related to defence applications. - Arrangement of course programs in terms of MODSIM for headquarter and troop personnel - Aiming at link between middle and long-term MODSIM needs of TAF and education and teaching needs of national defence industry
