SEC. 1097. INTERNATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE SIMULATION AND
ANALYSIS CENTER.

(a) Establishment.--Using existing funds, the Secretary of
Defense is authorized to work in consultation with the
Secretary of Energy to develop an International
Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center.
(b) Purpose.--The International Infrastructure Simulation
and Analysis Center may serve as the key asset for gathering,
analyzing, and disseminating information to the Department of
Defense, the Department of Energy, and the National Security
Council for the purposes of--
(1) providing advanced modeling, simulation, and analysis
capabilities to analyze critical infrastructure
interdependencies, vulnerabilities, and complexities outside
the United States;
(2) providing analysis and data to policy makers and
decision makers to aid in the prevention or response to
humanitarian or other threats outside the United States; and
(3) providing strategic, multidisciplinary analyses of
infrastructure interdependencies and the consequences of
infrastructure disruptions across multiple infrastructure
sectors outside the United States.
(c) Use of Existing Facilities.--The International
Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center should utilize
existing Department of Defense or Department of Energy
facilities.
(d) Capabilities.--The Center should include the following
capabilities:
(1) Process-based systems dynamic models.
(2) Mathematical network optimization models.
(3) Physics-based models of existing infrastructure.
(4) High fidelity, agent-based simulations of systems.
(5) Other systems capabilities as deemed necessary by the
Secretary of Defense to fulfil the mission needs of the
Department of Defense.
