NMCSSC Simulation for the Assessment of Tactical Nuclear Weapons (SATAN II). System Description.

Abstract

The SATAN 2 System Description (SDM) provides a description of the SATAN 2 Model and its operations. SATAN 2 is a model for the two-sided, open play of tactical nuclear weapons exchanges on simulated battlefields. When provided by the user with description of the engaging forces, rates of target acquisition, and a nuclear weapons employment doctrine, the SATAN 2 computer programs will automatically: establish the battle area, deploy the forces, determine necessary reaction for actions taken, acquire targets, allocate nuclear weapons to fire on those targets, assess the effects of those fires, move the forward edge of battle area (FEBA), and automatically interface with A LAS (A Tactical, Logistical, and Air Simulation).
