Small Force Effectiveness of Direct Fire Weapons: Model Analysis

Abstract

This report discusses three modified versions of the TANKWARS model: (1) a version which uses an input table of priorities that allows the option of breaking off firing for newly appearing high priority targets and allows prioritization among targets that are already engaged by the various members of the team and that are of various significance, (2) a version which allows a more realistic meeting engagement in which both sides can advance and also have defending vehicles remain in hull defilade; and (3) a version in which the defending forces can operate in a pop up mode. In this mode, a nonfiring vehicle detects targets and transfers them to fully defilade tanks which then pop up to hull defilade, fire and pop down.
