The Land Combat Model (DYNCOM). Volume 2
Abstract
This report presents the results of research to design principal submodels for the DYNCOM combat simulation. Dyncom is a high-resolution simulation of battalion-sized combat units having armor, crew-served anti-tank, anti-helicopter, and artillery weapons. These weapons can be equipped with missiles, and the model was developed to predict the effect of missile performance characteristics on the effectiveness of tactical units in engagements with enemy forces. The principal research areas described are: (1) Analysis of communication experimental results to provide inputs to the DYNCOM Communications Model; (2)Design of a Crew-Served Weapon Movement Model for discounted crew-served weapons to select fire positions, routes, and represent movement; (3)Extensions to the Beam-Rider Missile Model to represent continuous flight traces, estimate parameters from flight data, and represent the effects of tracker performance on missile performance, (4)Development of a method for prediction of detection times under conditions of limited visibility; and (5) Development of a model and experimental plan for prediction of detection (pinpoint) times of the signatures of concealed firing weapons.
