Air-Ground Engagement Models Review.
Abstract
This technical review of air-ground engagement models was performed to assist model users in determining the proper application of these models and the efficient allocation of available modeling resources. The objectives of the review were to: identify the strengths and weaknesses of each model, develop insights into the kinds of analytical problems to which each model can be most effectively applied, develop recommendations for improving each of the models, as appropriate, to include input data, logic, and employment of the model, determine resource requirements for each model, surface improved model techniques, and develop a rational program for air-ground engagement models to include requirements for research, data acquisition, continuing maintenance, conversion to different computers and documentation. The models reviewed were CARMONETTE V, EVADE II, and GLOBAL. The factors considered in selecting these models were the extent of their current use in Army studies, their two-sided nature, their level of resolution, their play of a multiplicity of weapons, and their existing proposals for improvements. The CARMONETTE V Monte Carlo computer simulation was developed by the Research Analysis Corporation to evaluate combat engagements between forces of up to battalion size.
