Interactive Graphical Support for a Small-Unit Amphibious Operation Combat Model.

Abstract

The scope of this thesis is to tale a first step towards making a combat model user friendly through interactive computer graphics. To accomplish this first step, a graphical support program was developed for visual/graphical representation of a Lanchester-type force-on-force combat model that simulates a small-unit amphibious operation. The graphical support program provides the user with a menu to determine the type of visual display for output data. Three types of visual displays are considered: (1) line graph; (2) bar chart; and (3) grid map. Each type provides a different view of the model's output data. By utilizing these types of visual displays, the viewer is provided a supportive method that enables him to analyze and assimulate the model and its output data. (Author)
