Artillery Force Simulation Model User Manual.
Abstract
The performance in combat of a division slice of BLUE artillery is a function of its weapon-ammo mix, ammo basic load and resupply, fire direction center (FDC) capability, movement policy, firing policy, weapon reliability, and weapon repair capability as well as RED anti-artillery capabilities such as counterbattery acquisition systems, counterbattery fire capability, and electronic warfare capability. These factors are taken into account by AFSM as it calculates the damage that a BLUE artillery force could do to a given RED threat force which is represented by a list of target acquisitions generated by an external war game. The User Manual contains: (1) An overview of the AFSM computer program including a conceptual flowchart and brief explanation of the model. (2) A detailed description of the input required to execute the program. (3) A description of the output. (4) A sample problem with fictitious inputs and the resulting output. (5) A glossary defining the important variables in AFSM. (Author)
