Sensitivity of DIVWAG to Variations in Weather Parameters

Abstract

This is the second in a continuing series of reports on the application of DIVWAG at Rodman Laboratory. The first report primarily examines the model and its operational utilization at Rodman Laboratory. In this report, the sensitivity of the DIVWAG model to extreme changes in the weather environment is evaluated. Two extremes were examined: (1) optimum weather - clear daylight with no precipitation and (2) minimum weather - dark with heavy precipitation. These extremes were evaluated to determine the impact of weather variations on the target acquisition process and the mobility of maneuver units as simulated in the DIVWAG model.
