CACDA Ground Combat Model

Abstract

This report documents a quick-running, low-resolution ground combat model developed at the US Army Combined Arms, Combat Development Activity (CACDA). This model determines firers, targets, engagements, attritions, data update, and specified output for each time step of a tank-antitank battle. A model overview is presented, and potential model applications are discussed. Data requirements, model mathematics, and computer coding are included. The model should be a useful tool for ranking weapon mixes to determine sets of best candidates used in an interactive gaming environment. (Author)
