This is good news. Model dev and oversight (verification, validation & accreditation--VV&A), the proving your sim is good enough, are usually the long poles in the tent. If you are starting from a good framework, you can move fast and still get good solutions for many

My brush with Have Blue. I built an engineering flight sim for a ~full scale, LO aerial target a few years back. At the first technical interchange meeting, someone had invited a couple of guys from the Skunk Works as the gray beards. I took my turn briefing the sim dev and got
USAF photograph of DARPA/Lockheed Martin Have Blue prototype, the experimental aircraft that paved the way for F-117 Nighthawk. Developed late 1970s under extreme secrecy, Have Blue was world’s first true stealth aircraft design.
