A Dynamic Ammunition and Fuel Resupply Module in Support of the STAR Model.

Abstract

This thesis presents the structure of an ammunition and fuel resupply system for use with a detailed computer combat simulation. The logistics system is developed for a brigade-sized unit. Current logistics doctrine is addressed as background and is used as a basis for the module development. The parameters described for ammunition and fuel permit one to follow individual vehicle loads on the battlefield. General terms are used to describe vehicles and loads so that current or proposed systems may be used. A manual simulation provides an example of the use of the module and the analysis one may do with it. A brief description of the combat model which will use the logistics module is included.
