SSBN Tactical Security Exercise Simulator and Tactical Development Computer Program

Abstract

The essence of this work was the creation and refinement of a user- friendly computer simulation for submarine-on-submarine engagements. Simulations are assuming an ever more important role in the life of weapon systems, from defining and evaluating early development options to achieving the most effective employment methods/tactics. Their use goes far beyond even these applications, as realistic simulations are utilized to develop operationally oriented data to support high level decision making, e.g., employing simulations to evaluate plans from battle group tactics to general war plans. An examination of existing Navy models resulted in the conclusion that each had shortcomings when applied to the specific tasks undertaken by RES Operations. These shortcomings ranged from being very programmer intensive when changing key factors during an excursion to an inability to observe a tactical engagement unfolding. (rh)
