A Limited Assessment of Simulated Terrain for Supporting Near-Term Analysis Requirements for the Warrior Systems Modeling Technology Science and Technology Objective

Abstract

This is a limited assessment of simulated terrain for the analysis requirements of the Warrior Systems Modeling Technology Science and Technology Objective. The report focuses on the terrain database formats and associated tools that enable effective soldier and small unit modeling in constructive, force-on-force environments; it analyzes available options, and it provides near- and mid-term recommendations. The near-term recommendation is to enhance and continue to use the Modular Semi-Automated Forces (ModSAF) Simulation Compact Terrain Database (CTDB). The mid-term recommendation is to provide a capability to use CTDB plus MultiGen OpenFlight in conjunction with the Synthetic Environment Data Representation and Interchange Specification (SEDRIS) Simulation environment tool. Additionally, it is recommended that subsequent versions of the Integrated Unit Simulation System (lUSS), Soldier and Biological Chemical Command's (SBCCOM) model of choice for high fidelity warrior systems modeling and analysis, incorporate changes necessary to support these recommendations.
