Foundations of the Intelligence Module of the Airland Research Model (ALARM).

Abstract

This-thesis lays the foundation for the Intelligence Module of the AIRLAND RESEARCH MODEL (ALARM). It examines the relationship between the Intelligence Module and the other modules of ALARM. Specifically it develops the structure of the Intelligence Module to include the flow of combat information from other modules, the fusion of combat information into tactical intelligence and the subsequent dissemination of that intelligence. Additionally it proposes a Lanchester-type formulation for target acquisition and presents a methodology to estimate the required coefficients from the output of a high resolution combat simulation. Keywords: combat information processors; Lanchester equations; decision making. (Author)
