Indirect Fire Model Computer Program - User Manual

Abstract

The Indirect Fire Model Computer Program computes effort and effectiveness measures of artillery systems in a war game situation. Effort is measured in terms of cost and weight of ammunition expended against a list of area targets. Effectiveness is measured in the amount of personnel and materiel damage inflicted. Each target is described by location, time of acquisition, estimated target duration time, number of tactical elements (personnel, tanks, trucks, and Armored Personnel Carriers), and other estimated and actual data.
