The National Center for Simulation (NCS) is an association of primarily defense industry companies.

It was created in 1993 to support collaboration among the defense industry, government, and academia.

NCS is headquartered in the Central Florida Research Park in Orlando, Florida which is home to the world's largest cluster for computer simulation and modeling[1], including more than 180 modeling, simulation and training companies, the University of Central Florida, and military simulation and training commands.

NCS is part of the "Team Orlando" partnership between military organizations, the modeling and simulation industry, and academic institutions working together to leverage resources and contribute to the overall security of the United States. Besides NCS, charter members of Team Orlando include the U.S. Army's PEO-STRI, the U.S. Navy's NAWC-TSD, the U.S. Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulaution, the U.S. Marine Corps Program Manager for Training Systems, Joint Forces Command, United States Army Simulation and Training Technology Center (STTC), and the University of Central Florida's Institute for Simulation and Training[2].

Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom Baptiste became NCS's president and executive director in January 2010[3].
