Simulation for the Assessment of Tactical Nuclear Weapons (SATAN II). General Description. Change 1.

Abstract

The manual describes briefly the Simulation for the Assessment of TActical Nuclear Weapons (SATAN II). The SATAN 2 simulation is a model for the two-sided, open play of a tactical nuclear weapons conflict on simulated battlefields. When provided by the user with the required input data, the SATAN 2 computer programs will automatically: Deploy forces; acquire targets; allocate nuclear weapons to fire on those targets; assess the effects of those fires; perform counter-battery operations; and, interface with A Tactical, Logistical, and Air Simulation (ATLAS). The SATAN 2 Model is programmed in FORTRAN 4 for use on the IBM 360/50/65 computer. (Author)
