Concepts Evaluation Model (CEM) Attrition and Calibration Modification I.
Abstract
The principal feature of the new attrition algorithm is its use of battle attrition (killer/victim scores), as generated by a high-resolution model, to calculate attrition for differing combat situations. The particular advantage of using the killer/victim scores is that they reflect the engagement attrition as a function of: Target acquisition; Fire allocation and ammo expenditure; and Target and weapon availability. In addition, such functions as sensors, intelligence, communications, and weather conditions can be simulated in the high-resolution model and their influence on the battle carry forward to the theater model (CEM) in the killer/victim scores. The objective of this study is to modify the CEM so as to replace its present firepower-driven combat assessment logic with the new killer/victim attrition algorithm: In accordance with design specifications, previously developed by GRC, develop new and modify existing CEM subroutines as required to incorporate the revised attrition process into the CEM; Develop a set of representative data inputs for testing and validation of CEM/ATRIT; Validate the CEM utilizing data input derived in (b) above.
