Differential Geometric, Stochastic, and Computational Methods for DOD Simulations.
Abstract
This work focused on a comparison of three methods for evaluating weapon scores/importances in combat models. We also analyzed the ATCAL (attrition calibration) process in use at the U. S. Army Concepts Analysis Agency. This included a reformulation of the attrition equations at the heart of ATCAL in dimensionless form and certain approximations that reduce them to a system of non-linear polynomial equations. Finally, we investigated stochastic attrition models which use stochastic differential equations. COSAGE (Combat Sample Generator) data from a historically based Ardennes study was used in validation of our results.
