Summary/Abstract: In recent years, Modelling and Simulation as a Service(MsaaS) has represented one of the research directions towards which NATO has focused its efforts, thus the research groups established at the level of the NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG), had as their main objective the development and implementation of the concept within the Alliance. An MSaaS Platform represents the concrete applicability of the concept, therefore, in the specialized literature, we can identify a series of MSaaS Platforms, some based on the reference architecture proposed by NATO, and others adopting only some of its specific elements. The study of the existing MSaaS Platforms allows the identification of the current state of MSaaS implementation in the military field, providing an overview of the desirable finality of the research efforts - NATO's MSaaS Portal. The implementation of an MSaaS Portal in NATO will bring considerable benefits in the sphere of modelling and simulation, ensuring flexibility, timeliness and efficiency at low costs.
