Societal Factors - National Research Council

Abstract

This Technical Memo summarizes the research and development effort conducted under grant by National Academy of Sciences, the National Research Council (NRC); for the AFRL Warfighter Interface Division, Cognitive Systems Branch. The Air Force and the other military services are increasingly interested in using models of the behavior of humans, as individuals and in groups of various kinds and sizes, to support the development of doctrine, strategies, and tactics for dealing with state and non-state adversaries, for use in analysis of the current political and military situation, for planning future operations, for training and mission rehearsal, and even for the acquisition of new systems. A full description of the effort can be found in "Behavioral Modeling and Simulation: From Individuals to Societies," the National Academies Press, Washington, DC (ISBN: 9780309118620). This Technical Memo substitutes for the Technical Report (TR) to close out this work unit number, 28300413, in HWIS and DTIC since a book was published in place of the TR.
