A J-8 TACWAR Ground Combat Attrition Primer

Abstract

This paper provides an explanation and simple numerical example for the way that (conventional) attrition to ground weapon systems is determined in the current J-8 version of the TACWAR computer model of ground and air warfare. The purpose for presenting this explanation and examples is to assist analyst in improving their understanding of the current ground combat attrition algorithms in J-8's TACWAR. Such increased understanding could lead to more appropriate use of the model and could facilitate decisions concerning model improvement.
