MECH: Algorithms and Tools for Automated Assessment of Potential Attack Locations (Software User Guide)

Abstract

This report presents the user menu for a prototype of the Monitor, Emplacement, and Control in a Halo (MECH) model for modeling and simulation of behaviors associated with insurgent attacks, and their relationship with geographic locations and temporal windows. The software system is consisted of an Android device to make query to a server, which can make tactical analysis using the MECH model based statistical pattern analysis and simulation tools. The statistical pattern analysis method is cross checked with tactical simulations based on the MECH behavior model. The prototype demonstrates the effectiveness of fusion of statistical pattern analysis, simulation, and human interpretation of military doctrines within the context of the two modeling approaches. It shows the feasibility of self-guided situational analysis informed by MECH-based situational awareness analytics.
