Book The Role of Automated War Gaming in Strategic Analysis

Download or read book The Role of Automated War Gaming in Strategic Analysis written by Bruce W. Bennett and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last several years, The Rand Corporation's Strategy Assessment Center (RSAC) has been developing a new framework for strategy analysis. This paper reviews the effort and discusses early RSAC experience with automated war gaming, which includes not only computerized force modeling and bookkeeping, but also automated decision making. The initial focus was on strategic forces. It became obvious that Rand also had to handle major conventional conflicts as well, since the use of strategic forces seemed most likely to escalate from theater conflict. Furthermore, most analysts felt that the outcomes of theater conflicts were critical to the outcome of the war even after the employment of strategic forces. Rand is therefore producing a simulation of integrated, global conflict, which assesses the capabilities of both conventional and nuclear forces in various contigencies. Rand also emphasized model flexibility that facilitates sensitivity testing of both military and political issues--providing the capability to answer a broad range of 'what if?' questions.

Book Competitive Strategies for the 21st Century

Download or read book Competitive Strategies for the 21st Century written by Thomas G. Mahnken and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. today faces the most complex and challenging security environment in recent memory— even as it deals with growing constraints on its ability to respond to threats. Its most consequential challenge is the rise of China, which increasingly has the capability to deny the U.S. access to areas of vital national interest and to undermine alliances that have underpinned regional stability for over half a century. Thus, the time is right for the U.S. to adopt a long-term strategy for dealing with China; one that includes but is not limited to military means, and that fully includes U.S. allies in the region. This book uses the theory and practice of peacetime great-power strategic competition to derive recommendations for just such a strategy. After examining the theory of peacetime strategic competition, it assesses the U.S.-China military balance in depth, considers the role of America's allies in the region, and explores strategies that the U.S could adopt to improve its strategic position relative to China over the long term.

Book Improving the Military Content of Strategy Analysis Using Automated War Games

Download or read book Improving the Military Content of Strategy Analysis Using Automated War Games written by Paul K. Davis and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note describes new concepts for building a high degree of military content into the automated war games. The concepts involve rule-based logic structures that we call 'analytic war plans, ' and higher-resolution versions that we refer to as 'branched scripts.' These logic structures define the range of strategies and grand tactics from which the computer models ('Red Agent' and 'Blue Agent') can choose. The Note also describes our intended approach to combat modeling and explains how we intend to achieve realism and to reflect effects of numerous special phenomena usually ignored by modelers (e.g., attacks on C3I systems and disruptions of rear areas).

Download or read book Arms and Artificial Intelligence written by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute and published by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. This book was released on 1987 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of information technology in the field of military decision making is superficially less visible than that of a number of other weapon developments, though its importance has grown steadily since the beginning of the 1980s. Owing to its potential role in modern weapon systems and the prospect of its inclusion as an essential ingredient in many military projects such as the Strategic Defence Initiative, it has become the focus of special interest and efforts. This book is the first attempt to present a broad overview of the prospects for information technology in general, and machine intelligence in particular, in the context of international security. The dangers and promises of weapon and arms control applications of computers and artificial intelligence to decision-making processes are analysed in a technical, strategic, and political perspective by experts from six different countries. In an introductory chapter, Allan Din presents a generic overview of artificial intelligence and its prospects. Thirteen contributors then discuss the conceptual and technical framework of artificial intelligence, analyse implications for weapon systems and strategy, and discuss possible applications to arms control verification and modelling.

Book Simulation and Wargaming

Download or read book Simulation and Wargaming written by Charles Turnitsa and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the potential synergies between computer simulation and wargaming Based on the insights of experts in both domains, Simulation and Wargaming comprehensively explores the intersection between computer simulation and wargaming. This book shows how the practice of wargaming can be augmented and provide more detail-oriented insights using computer simulation, particularly as the complexity of military operations and the need for computational decision aids increases. The distinguished authors have hit upon two practical areas that have tremendous applications to share with one another but do not seem to be aware of that fact. The book includes insights into: The application of the data-driven speed inherent to computer simulation to wargames The application of the insight and analysis gained from wargames to computer simulation The areas of concern raised by the combination of these two disparate yet related fields New research and application opportunities emerging from the intersection Addressing professionals in the wargaming, modeling, and simulation industries, as well as decision makers and organizational leaders involved with wargaming and simulation, Simulation and Wargaming offers a multifaceted and insightful read and provides the foundation for future interdisciplinary progress in both domains.

Book Strategic Analysis as Though Nonsuperpowers Matter

Download or read book Strategic Analysis as Though Nonsuperpowers Matter written by William Schwabe and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military strategy analysis seldom treats nonsuperpower behavior except in the simplest fashion. This obscures real uncertainty and disagreement about nonsuperpower roles in future armed conflict between superpowers. The study asks if a more dynamic treatment of nonsuperpower behavior in strategic analysis is feasible and desirable. It describes a rule-based nonsuperpower simulation and results of gaming several scenarios. The analysis reveals possible interactions between superpower and nonsuperpower decision making potentially affecting deterrence stability, military performance, and alliance cohesion. It concludes that strategic analysis can and should consider nonsuperpower behavior as important independent variables. (Author).

Download or read book Wargames written by Martin van Creveld and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where did wargames come from? Who participated in them, and why? How is their development related to changes in real-life warfare? Which aspects of war did they capture, which ones did they leave out, how, and why? What do they tell us about the conduct of war in the times and places where they were played? How useful are they in training and preparation for war? Why are some so much more popular than others, and how do men and women differ in their interest?
