The Helicopter Route Selection Model (DYNFLITE).

Abstract

This report describes the results of research to develop a helicopter attack route selection model, called DYNFLITE, for use in high resolution combat simulations such as DYNTACS X. The fundamental concept used in comparing alternative routes is the minimization of perceived threat under the constraint of attacking a target. Three alternative threat perception models were hypothesized and compared experimentally. The experiments consisted of map exercises using helicopter pilots with combat experience as subjects. The subjects selected routes in a variety of combat situations, and the model generated routes using inputs solicited from the subjects; then the subjects compared their routes with the model routes. One of the three threat perception models performed better than the others and appeared to produce routes that were acceptable to the pilot subjects. (Author)
