This book was released on 2001 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper contains an overview on the design principles and main characteristics of a family of new, strictly object-oriented combat simulation models called COSIMAC (COmbat SImulation Model with Automated Control), developed at our Institute since 1995. They are designed as closed models, which means that a detailed modeling of the highly complicated C3I processes is indispensable. Additionally, the option of an interactive man/machine interface is implemented, which offers the possibility of manual control on different command and control levels for playing against computer generated (and controlled) forces, for experimenting with 'unconventional' decision, and for developing and improving the rule system in a trial-and-error fashion. Furthermore, the paper describes a general architecture for the design of command and control modules, which offers the possibility of describing tactical/operational intentions and concepts of operation in a kind of battle management language (multilayer tactical language concept), the terrain representation, attrition and movement modeling, the development of terrain and situation assessment modules, which are, together with a set of so called planning functions and spatial and procedural templates, a prerequisite for the rule systems that generate adequate tactical missions and orders for the assigned units or simulated objects, and, finally, the main results, conclusions and future developments of the project.

This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 932 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the military and combat applications of modeling and simulation Engineering Principles of Combat Modeling and Distributed Simulation is the first book of its kind to address the three perspectives that simulation engineers must master for successful military and defense related modeling: the operational view (what needs to be modeled); the conceptual view (how to do combat modeling); and the technical view (how to conduct distributed simulation). Through methods from the fields of operations research, computer science, and engineering, readers are guided through the history, current training practices, and modern methodology related to combat modeling and distributed simulation systems. Comprised of contributions from leading international researchers and practitioners, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the engineering principles and state-of-the-art methods needed to address the many facets of combat modeling and distributed simulation and features the following four sections: Foundations introduces relevant topics and recommended practices, providing the needed basis for understanding the challenges associated with combat modeling and distributed simulation. Combat Modeling focuses on the challenges in human, social, cultural, and behavioral modeling such as the core processes of "move, shoot, look, and communicate" within a synthetic environment and also equips readers with the knowledge to fully understand the related concepts and limitations. Distributed Simulation introduces the main challenges of advanced distributed simulation, outlines the basics of validation and verification, and exhibits how these systems can support the operational environment of the warfighter. Advanced Topics highlights new and developing special topic areas, including mathematical applications fo combat modeling; combat modeling with high-level architecture and base object models; and virtual and interactive digital worlds. Featuring practical examples and applications relevant to industrial and government audiences, Engineering Principles of Combat Modeling and Distributed Simulation is an excellent resource for researchers and practitioners in the fields of operations research, military modeling, simulation, and computer science. Extensively classroom tested, the book is also ideal for courses on modeling and simulation; systems engineering; and combat modeling at the graduate level.
Download or read book Battle Simulation for Command and Control Training written by Ralph E. Strauch and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force is exploring the development of a Tactical Force Management Training and Analysis Facility (TFMTAF). The center would probably use computer support to provide a realistic and challenging simulated combat environment. It is questionable whether such an environment can be created by pitting the players against a fully automated computer model of combat. This paper emphasizes the training function of the TFMTAF. Section II outlines the concept of training underlying the ideas presented in the paper. Section III examines some of those aspects and concludes that computerized combat models provide poor representations of them. Section IV outlines some of the major characteristics a hybrid simulator might have and suggests directions in which its development might proceed. The last section examines these functions in the light of the earlier analysis and argues that they would also be better served by a hybrid simulator than by one dependent on simulation based on conventional combat models.

This book was released on 1998-08-14 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulations are widely used in the military for training personnel, analyzing proposed equipment, and rehearsing missions, and these simulations need realistic models of human behavior. This book draws together a wide variety of theoretical and applied research in human behavior modeling that can be considered for use in those simulations. It covers behavior at the individual, unit, and command level. At the individual soldier level, the topics covered include attention, learning, memory, decisionmaking, perception, situation awareness, and planning. At the unit level, the focus is on command and control. The book provides short-, medium-, and long-term goals for research and development of more realistic models of human behavior.
Download or read book Combat Synchronization Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army is moving resolutely toward the development of digital battle command systems to provide greater lethality, survivability, and tempo to maneuver units on the battlefield. This modernization will allow battlefield operating systems to fully synchronize with each other, based on a common, near- real time view of the battlefield. The total effect of such a battle command system promises to provide an overall effectiveness improvement greater than any other single modernization effort. Analyses have tried to quantify the benefits of fielding digitized battle command. but have not focused on the contributions of digitized information systems to the overall effectiveness of the combat unit at the brigade level and below. To do this, a simple network model (the Combat Synchronization Model) was developed by the Directorate of Combat Developments, United States Army Armor Center. This model of tactical unit command and control networks uses the commercially available SLAM modeling language to simulate the tactical information network within companies, battalion, and brigades. The model, input with data concerning frequency, transmission time, and processing time of tactical information, establishes the time needed for units to react in a meaningful fashion to a given battlefield situation.

This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1941 the Wehrmacht launched Operation Barbarossa: the attack on the USSR and the largest land invasion in recorded history. Operation Barbarossa: the Complete Organisational and Statistical Analysis, and Military Simulation focuses on 1941 - when the USSR came closest to defeat. It includes full analyses of the belligerents' armed forces, weapons, equipment, personnel, transport, logistics, war-production, mobilisation and replacements. The work employs a unique military simulation methodology, extending from the tactical to the strategic level, and applies this methodology to each of the belligerents. Volume I, the first of six volumes, is primarily concerned with the structure of this methodology, but uses many of the events and weapons from Operation Barbarossa as illustrative case studies. The complete work represents the most historically accurate, advanced and comprehensive analysis of the first six months of the largest and most decisive military campaign of WWII.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research evaluated the operational effectiveness, training, and soldier-machine interface (SMI) implications of a Combat Vehicle Command and Control (CVCC) experimental configuration that included the Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer and a Command and Control display. Using Ml tank simulators in the Mounted Warfare Test Bed at Fort Knox, KY, the evaluation focused on tank battalion operations. Each of twelve groups of soldiers completed a 1-week training and testing schedule that culminated in a simulated combat scenario. One of a series, this report documents tactical unit performance, and techniques and procedures employed to take advantage of the CVCC system's capabilities. Companion reports address operational effectiveness data, and training and SMI-related findings. The collective findings provide input to the design and development of training programs for future automated command, control, and communications systems in ground combat vehicles.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Requirement: (1) Develop a top-down design for an integrated family of modular division-level battle simulations which separately or jointly will exercise players performing critical functions in command and control (Volume I). (2) Develop detailed design specifications for the Intelligence Staff module of the integrated battle simulation (Volume II). The design approach involved the following principles: selection of the decision variables to be manipulated by the division staff modules and the event threads both within and external to the staff modules thereby fixing the event sequence and time of occurrence; and incorporating into the simulation every event thread needed to support the input/output relationship. The dynamic realism needed to place decision makers in a realistic environment is achieved by means of an event store technique. The five classes of events of which the event threads are composed are defined and the logical flow of the event store simulation is illustrated. A sixth class of event needed for operation in an ADP-assisted mode is also defined. The approach begins at the heart of the information system, the decisions, and then develops the simulation needed to implement them--the inverse of the usual approach.
