A Digital Simulation Model of Message Handling in the Tactical Operations System. IV. Model Integration with CASE and SAMTOS

Abstract

The human performance oriented computer simulation, called MANMOD, of the U.S. Army's Tactical Operations System (TOS), was modified and extended to allow increased capability and generality. The modifications and extensions included but were not limited to: (1) incorporation of the capability to simulate error message receipt and processing, (2) interaction and integration with a modified CASE model and with the SAMTOS model which principally simulate TOS equipment functions, and (3) implementation of the MANMOD on the Univac 1108 computer system. The modified MANMOD was tested relative to sensitivity and reasonableness of output. The evidence supports the use of the model for a number of functions relative to system design, training requirements and objectives derivation, personnel requirements, and tradeoffs.
