Discrete Event Systems Specification (DEVS) formalism supports the specification of discrete event models in a hierarchical and modular manner. Efforts have been made to develop the simulation environments for the modeling and simulation (M&S) of systems using DEVS formalism, particularly in defense M&S domains. This paper introduces the DEVSim++ toolset and its applications. The Object-Analysis Index (OAI) matrix is a tabular form of objects and analysis indices for requirements analysis. DEVSim++ is a realization of DEVS formalism in C++ for M&S. VeriTool is a DEVS model verification tool. DEVSimHLA is a library to support High-level Architecture (HLA) in DEVSim++. Other tools, including KComLib, FOM2CPPClass, and KHLAAdaptor, are used to develop a smart adaptor that allows for the interoperation of simulators of any kind. PlugSim is a distributed simulation framework using plug-in methods. These tools are utilized in every stage of the M&S development process, as well as in every application of the M&S missions to the military domain. Accordingly, the applications implemented by the toolset are used in the training, analytic, and acquisition missions of the Republic of Korea military branches. We expect the DEVS applications to become more prolific as M&S demands grow, and our toolset is already proven as complete and efficient in the domain of defense M&S.
