Differential Distribution Concept Evaluation.

Abstract

The concept of Differential Distribution distributes M1A2 tanks only in leadership positions instead of replacing every M1A1 tank in an armored force. This concept is an opportunity to provide either a given armor force structure with a digitized command and control capability at less cost or provide this digitization to a larger armor force structure with a given number of M1A2 tanks. The United States Army Armor Center conducted this evaluation of the Differential Distribution concept in the Mounted Warfare Test Bed (MWTB) during the period 12-30 July 1993. A system of M1A2 simulators and a desktop Inter-Vehicular Information System (IVIS) display was used to simulate combat vehicle operations of company level on Fort Knox terrain to gain insights into the Differential Distribution concept.
