Graphic Simulation of an Air Defense Scenario.

Abstract

This paper presents the development of an animated graphical computer simulation of an air defense scenario. In particular, the air defense scenario consists of a variable number of attackers, pictured as airplanes and a variable number of defenders, pictured as air defense artillery tanks. The simulation allows choosing between two different target assignment protocols. Protocol 1 simulates a random to shoot at. Protocol 2 simulates a controlled target assignment, where the defenders are assigned to a target and continue to track the target until a kill is made. The simulation is written in BASICA, uses an IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC) and requires a color monitor and a color/graphics adapter card. Keywords: Graphic, Simulation, Basic language, Air defense, Combat model.
