Dynamic Route Selection for Land Combat Simulation Model.

Abstract

This thesis presents a dynamic route selection model for the ground combat simulation environment. An optimal route is selected for an advancing combat unit, taking known enemy location(s) into consideration. The selected route is in the form suitable for a single vehicle movement. The model is explained in detail, the complete listing is displayed and some results from exercising the model are presented and discussed. The exercise was conducted on a digitized terrain, yet with simple modification it can work with functional terrain as well. The modification is explained, along with others that may be of interest to users. Conceptual methods of expanding the model to consider unit formation in the route selection process is presented. A number of ways to enrich this routine, namely to consider enemy elements instead of units, diversification of enemy threats, etc., are also discussed. (Author)
