The Department of Operational Sciences offers world class graduate programs in operations research and logistics. Our faculty is comprised of experts in all major areas of operations research and logistics and supply chain management whose research has been substantially funded by Department of Defense, government, and industry sources. Members of the department are recognized leaders in the advancement of the methodology and application of operations research and logistics management. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to:

 offering degree programs that prepare the next generation of defense and industry analysts and leaders,

 creating cutting edge knowledge that contributes to solving the major problems facing modern society, focusing on the defense of that society,

 responding to the needs of all of our customers and research partners, and

 providing an environment of rigor and mentorship that fosters academic excellence.

Facilities

The Department of Operational Sciences is home to two AFIT Centers of Excellence.

The Center for Operational Analysis (COA) is a multidisciplinary research and education center focused on defense-related operational modeling and analysis. The COA was formally recognized in March of 2003. Expanding the mission of the former Center for Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis, the COA is dedicated to research and education in operational analysis with an emphasis on enhancing warfighter efficiency and effectiveness at all levels.

Visit the COA on line at http://www.afit.edu/en/COA/index.cfm.

The Scientific Test and Analysis Techniques in Test and Evaluation Center of Excellence (COE) received its initial funding in 2012, following a request by the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Developmental Test and Evaluation (DASD, DT&E) that Air Education and Training Command designate such a center within the AFIT Graduate School. This request reflects acknowledgment of AFIT as a leader in the field of Test and Evaluation (T&E). Goals of the new COE are to improve T&E planning, execution, and assessment, and to develop more rigorous, scientific, and statistically based T&E design methodologies.

In addition to the COA and the COE, three research-focused laboratories reside within the department, providing tools, methods, and analysis to support students and their research:

 Combat Modeling Laboratory http://www.afit.edu/en/ens/combatingmodelinglab.cfm

 Future Operations Investigation Laboratory http://www.afit.edu/en/ens/futureoperations.cfm
