Army Sustainability Modelling Analysis and Reporting Tool Phase 1: User Manual and Results Interpretation Guide

Abstract

This report is designed to assist users of the Army Sustainability Modelling Analysis and Reporting Tool (A-SMART) in setting up input parameters and scenarios, running the models and interpreting the model outputs. A-SMART is a software tool under contracted development, sponsored by Army Headquarters and managed by the DSTO, which has reached the end of its first phase of development. A-SMART is a strategic-level force structure liability analysis tool, designed to forecast the dynamics of personnel and equipment populations over time for a particular scenario; it is intended that it will support analysis of the sustainability of planned Army force structures against a range of possible scenarios, as well as the force options testing process. A-SMART Phase 1 has been limited to the development of personnel, major equipment and supplies/strategic lift modules; it is envisioned that a second phase of development would extend the capability to the other Fundamental Inputs to Capability including collective training and facilities, and also include a costing module.
