Methodology for Systems Analysis of MALLARD Communication System. Volume V: Simulation Methodology.
Abstract
The Simulation Methodology provides in FORTRAN 4 Language the necessary executive routines, subroutines, and modular subroutines necessary for a detailed event-by-event simulation of the flow of traffic between Field Army units and headquarters in support of military missions. It is possible to adjust equipment and subsystem configurations, change routing, change traffic characteristics of links, and provide meaningful network simulation. It simulates speed of message delivery, capacity, reliability, outages (arising from failures, damage or jamming), error rate, grade of service, backlogs, etc. It is capable of simulating a communications system engineered for each mission as well as tagged messages in each tactical function along with the computed volume of background traffic. The output will include communications effectiveness indices. Procedures to be followed for the efficient use of the Simulation Methodology are provided. (Author)
