Combat Modeling by Using Simulation Components
Abstract
Growing cost of operational trials and limited budgets make extensive live tests of military systems and frequent live exercises nearly impossible. Also defense planning dealing with extremely complex military system behaviors necessitates the utilization of innovative analysis tools. Simulation is one of the most employed tools for the military analyses training and acquisition. Its increasing importance is now well- recognized in most of the armed forces and in NATO. Dramatic advances are being made in military simulation community but these advances are associated mainly with computer technologies. Modeling and simulation efforts are subject to some problems. First of all building and using a simulation model is an expensive and laborious activity. It is difficult to design a model to efficiently and effectively support the appropriate analyses. Also models are generally built in closed architectures and are difficult to adapt to the specifics of different however related analysis efforts. Turkish Navy has started a research project in order to minimize above deficiencies. This research effort concerns at first with the simulation model infrastructure and then the model itself) The research on simulation model infrastructure exploits the theory and methodology that will make it possible to design and conflict reusable and flexible models. The results of this study are going to be the development of a flexible scalable and reusable tool that can be used for the construction of a library of Naval combat model components. The JAVAT programming language has been chosen for implementation in order to take advantage of world-wide web. The purpose of Operations Research (OR) type of combat components is to provide a library of reusable software to speed development of OR applications and make them more reliable.
