A Model for the Employment of Microcomputer Systems in Operational Deception Scenarios
Abstract
This paper suggests a model for the employment of microcomputer systems in support of operational deception. In establishing the case for such a model, a discussion is presented which lays the foundation for sound, realistic operational deception through the use of radio communications. An opinion is presented that both past and current practices in this field have been inefficient and lack realism when directed against even a mildly proficient opponent. A view and discussion is provided of the current manual-intensive model for operational deception which explains its shortcomings and deficiencies. Based on the current state of microcomputers technology in the Armed Forces of the United States, a model is proposed which is centered around the technology. The proposed model takes advantage of the computer's ability for scenario management, mass storage capability, and device control. A proposal is made which could lead to a systems development effort which would engineer the software components and identify the hardware requirements for the implementation of the proposed model. The conclusion points to the advantages and options such an implementation would provide to the operational commander.
