Groundwars Version 5.0. User's Guide

Abstract

GROUNDWARS is a stochastic, two sided, event sequenced, weapon systems effectiveness model which provides the results of a land duel between two heterogeneous forces. The model simulates individual weapon systems and employs Monte Carlo probability theory as its primary solution technique. GROUNDWARS is an outgrowth of the BRL TANKWARS Model. The original model has been modified by AMSAA to include additional methodology improvements including multiple combat vehicles, dynamic target acquisition, artillery effects, line of sight enhancements, survivability enhancements (smoke grenades, active protection), statistical confidence and testing.
