Final Report on Contract N00014-81-C-0098 (Academy for Interscience Methodology, Chicago, IL)
Abstract
Chapter 1 describes RPM, a computer program which contains a collection of integrated routines. The main thrust of this collection of routines is to provide means by which nuclear exchanges may be examined. If the analyst desires to examine a single detonation or the detonations of many thousand weapons from several countries, the task can be readily handled provided that the underlying geographic data bases are available. RPM input is a collection of military analyses key words which call for some action. For example, BLAST is a call to compute blast damage. Chapter 2 describes the Force Mix Model which generates weapon allocations which are input to RPM when laydown details and detailed blast and fallout assessments are needed for an analysis. In the past, data taken from the Force Mix Model was transformed into RPM input by hand. This chapter reports the automation of a bridge between Force Mix outputs and RPM 6 STRIKE inputs. Chapter 3 discusses an update of the program systems used in the Optimum Booster Assignment Method (OBAM). This method uses a network algorithm to solve the problem of assigning SLBM's from specific areas to hard military targets so as to maximize target value killed. The method is now organized into one program package. A series of support tasks are discussed in Chapter 4.
