Application of Computer Simulation Techniques in Military Exercise Control System Development. 2. NETMAN Transportability and Application to an Exercise Control System
Abstract
Management and control of Army field exercises, as well as realistic methods for assessing unit proficiency through such exercises, represents a current concern to those responsible for establishing and maintaining combat readiness. Realistic and meaningful field exercise management, control, and assessment requires technologically advanced control and communication systems. The conceptual design for such an exercise monitoring and reporting system (EMARS) was previously developed but was not subjected to empirical evaluation. A computer model, NETMAN, for evaluating such systems was also previously developed, tested for sensitivity, and validated. However, the adaptability/ flexibility of NETMAN was never investigated. The present work allowed such a test by applying NETMAN to the conceptual EMARS' design and evaluating the results in terms of their practical implications for the design of the EMARS system.
