Simulation Enhancements from Ardennes Campaign Analysis (SEACA).
Abstract
The Ardennes Campaign Simulation (ARCAS Study, completed by the US. Army Concepts Analysis Agency (CAA) in December 1995, suggested modifications to the Concepts Evaluation Model (CEM) and to the stochastic CEM (STOCEM) that should render the simulations more realistic by bringing simulation results into closer agreement with historical results such as the results of the 1944 Ardennes Campaign (known as the Battle of the Bulge). The CEM is a fully automated, constructive computer model of theater-level warfare that is used extensively for Army studies of force capabilities and requirements. The objectives of this research are as follows: (1) investigate the potential enhancements to the CEM and STOCEM suggested by the ARCAS Study; (2) determine a suitable logic for such enhancements; (3) implement and test the enhancements; and (4) compare the enhanced simulation results with the results of the ARCAS Study. This report describes the implementation of the model modifications and provides results, observations, and recommendations of the research.
