2004 – REMI Ver. 5.5 – Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.
2007 – REMI Ver. 8.0 – North American Industrial ClassificationSystem (NAICS)
Direct comparison (2004 vs 2007) not possible - industry classifications do not
match
Neither SIC or NAICS specify M&S as unique professional category.
Significant M&S growth & economic impact in non-DoD sectors – but its hard
to measure it in new markets w/o a M&S category code.
