Battlefield Related Electronic Warfare Simulation (BREWS).

Abstract

Results of the effort to modify BREACH, an existing battlefield simulation model to evaluate antitank guided missile electronic countermeasures (ATGM-ECM) are documented. The modified model is named BREWS and is a high-resolution company-level model formulated to evaluate electronic warfare (EW) hardware in a battlefield environment. Included in the simulation are detailed terrain modeling including rolling hills and vegetation; armor vehicles including Soviet and United States tanks, armored personnel carriers, and antitank guided missile launchers; various United States tank EW hardware systems to detect and counter Soviet antitank guided missiles. Gaming rules have been devised to allow realistic engagements based on target detection criteria, probability of hit, kill, and damage assessment, and realistic countermeasures development for an interactive free play by Red and Blue Forces. The model is designed as an interactive war game for use with the UNIVAC 1108 computer. In addition to running interactively it is also used in batch mode for systems analyses. The model occupies approximately 75K decimal words of core overlayed eight times and utilizes 20 read and write files. (Author)
