Marcel Smit
My name is Marcel Smit, senior scientist at TNO Vector. With a background in Operations Research and Econometrics, I mainly work on cost studies for the Ministry of Defence.
With the help of self-developed models and analyses I provide insight into the financial consequences of the acquisition, use and maintenance of (new) weapon systems. For this I work very directly with the clients within the Ministry of Defence.
That is also what I prefer to do: working closely together with the clients, preferably on location, on issues whose answers are immediately applicable and support the decision-making process. In this way I contribute to the financially responsible implementation of innovations at Defence, and thus to a safer society.
