Tanks Versus Infantry in a Smoke Environment (TISE)

Abstract

This paper contains an analysis of the data collected during the Tanks versus Infantry in a Smoke Environment (TISE) field experiment. The test was conducted at Fort Hunter Liggett, California during August 1977. The purpose of TISE was to provide data on the effects of a smoke environment on the performance of infantry armed with LAWs in the defense and armor crews in the attack. Trials were conducted with single and multiple armor targets, moving and stationary armor and infantry, and firing and nonfiring armor and infantry. Fog oil smoke was placed over the playing area prior to conduct of trials by land- mobile generators, with generators mounted on helicopters for backup. All target detections and recognitions were strictly visual. Results include times to target detection, recognition, and engagement; range, both actual and estimated, of targets at recognition; and the number of correct versus incorrect recognitions. Analysis was performed to determine any significant effect of the independent variables on the results.
