A DYNAMIC COMPUTER MODEL FOR SIMULATING MILITARY COMMAND SYSTEMS

Abstract

This paper describes a computer-based, war-gaming model that operates under a time-sharing system on a large scale digital computer. The model simulates a command system comprised of a command post and a network of subordinate weapon control centers, weapon launch platforms, weapons, sensors, and their interconnecting communication links. Its major purpose is to serve as a general simulation tool that can be readily adapted to simulate a variety of command systems and conflict situations. As such, it can aid in the evaluation of performance and effectiveness of command-control systems, operating as vulnerable networks in dynamic conflict with a reactive enemy.
