Development of a Course of Action Simulation Capability

Abstract

This document provides a report for the Australian Defence Simulation Office (ADSO) on COA-Sim R&D undertaken with the support of ADSO minors funds in the 03/04 financial year. The R&D focussed on developing a prototype Course of Action Simulation capability. Course Of Action Simulation (COA-Sim) is an R&D program aimed at exploring the applicability of simulation to operations planning support. COA-Sim aims to provide a systematic component to the COA development and analysis phases of operations planing. This will result in an increased confidence in the COA and a better knowledge of unexpected possible outcomes, resulting in a more refined and well-founded plan. An exploration of the use and applicability of simulation in support of planning has been undertaken with the concepts being successfully demonstrated in a prototype COA-Sim environment.
