A Two-Sided Field Artillery Stochastic Simulation.
Abstract
This thesis presents a stochastic simulation model of Field Artillery that is designed to be used in conjunction with the Simulation of Tactical Alternative Responses (STAR) battalion combat model. The tactics modeled, the assumptions made, and the interface requirements are detailed, with the computer code that is used to execute themodel included. A clustering algorithm that was developed to simulate the grouping of detected vehicles by the forward observer is discussed. A typical simulated fire mission is presented with computer plots of each element of the fire mission, accompanied by the computer output that details the interactions. This graphical presentation will enable the reader to better appreciate the potential applications of the model. The input requirements to use the model are explained so that this thesis could become the initial user's manual for future applications of the FA model with the STAR model. The design requirements for an FA model to support the brigade version of the STAR model are discussed. (Author)
