Extensions to the Land Combat Model, (DYNCOM). Volume 1. Helicopter and Missile Models.
Abstract
This volume describes the design of models developed to represent ballistic-trajectory guided missiles and helicopters in DYNCOM. The missile models are extended to represent missiles flying a ballistic trajectory until acquiring a target and then the tracking of the target is described. The combat actions of helicopters in support of armored units up to battalion size is represented by a complex of models known collectively as The Aerial Platform Combat Operations Module (TAPCOM II). This model is unique in its capability to represent, with high resolution, the movement, target acquisition, firing, and vulnerability of individual helicopters providing direct aerial fire support. Moreover, the movement and firing tactics of helicopter units are dynamically generated, and interactions among the helicopter teams, supported ground force, and other elements of the fire support force are represented.
