An Analysis of Alternative Methods to Conduct High-Resolution Activities in a Variable-Resolution Simulation

Abstract

This study analyzes an original hybrid combat simulation for possible use as the underlying support model for the Joint Warfare Systems (JWARS) analytical simulation. The model employs a fixed increment time advance mechanism but represents individual entities vice aggregated units. Results from an otherwise identical model using a next event time advance mechanism provide a baseline for comparison. The hybrid, using a longer time increment, runs faster than the next event model but produces unacceptable results. The hybrid, using a smaller time increment, more closely approximates the next event model but takes longer to run.
