CREST: COMPUTER ROUTINE FOR EVALUATION OF SIMULATED TACTICS.

Abstract

CREST, Computer Routine for Evaluation of Simulated Tactics, is a computer simulation primarily designed to study the interactions between various naval forces. The development of the model stemmed from the need to study the role of a CVA (aircraft carrier) in a global conflict. In the event of such a conflict, it may be necessary for a CVA to deliver its strike aircraft to an assigned launch area as expeditiously as possible while faced with the threat of hostile submarine forces. Further development of CREST added a 'cold war' study capability. This capability, in brief, allows the CVA maneuver within a given area, i.e., station keep. The CVA, in this situation, may well be opposed by submarines which attempt to get close to weapon range but do not intend to launch weapons. (Author)
