KIBOWI: A Training Wargame for the Royal Netherlands Army (KIBOWI: Een Training Wargame voor de Koninklijke Landmacht)

Abstract

A prototype wargaming model for the Royal Netherlands Army is under development at the physics and electronics laboratory TNO of the Netherlands Defence Research Organization. This game will be used to train staff officers at battalion and brigade level. The development of the model is based on the latest available information technology: ADA, VAX/VMS and VAX hardware. The model is dedicated to run real time on a one minute time step basis on a micro-vax local area network or a vax-cluster. The model uses terrain data partly based on DLMS (Digital Land Mass System), with added terrain features. It is expected that the model will be ready for use as a prototype by the Royal Netherlands Army by the end of 1989. Experimental use of the model was made during 1988 for approximately 20 weeks at the battalion level. Keywords: War games; Netherlands; Military training; Computerized simulation; Army personnel; Terrain database; Military exercises.
