An Examination and Evaluation of the Concepts of the Tactical Air War Analysis Game (TAWAG). An Analytical 'Quick Game Model' for the Assessment of Long-Range Air Armaments Policy Options (to be Published).

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and review the basic model structure of a tactical air-ground combat model, the 'Tactical Air War Analysis Game' (TAWAG). Existing theater level air/ground combat models (both descriptive and prescriptive) are reviewed and compared with TAWAG on the basis of a number of criteria. Whenever possible an effort is made to draw connections to existing models or point out the differences. The goal of this effort is to present a clear conceptual picture of the TAWAG model and to compare its 'heuristic programming' optimization methodology with those used in other models currently used in the USA.
