Canonical Momenta of Nonlinear Combat
Michael Bowman and Lester Ingber Proceedings of the 1997 Simulation Multi-Conference, 6-10 April 1997, Atlanta, GA, Society for Computer Simulation, San Diego, CA 1997.
Abstract The context of nonlinear combat calls for more sophisticated measures of effectiveness. We present a set of tools that can be used as such supplemental indicators,based on stochastic nonlinear multivariate modeling used to benchmark Janus simulation to exercise data from the U.S. Army National Training Center (NTC). As a prototype study, a strong global optimization tool, adaptive simulated annealing (ASA), is used to explicitly fit Janus data, deriving coefficients of relative measures of effectiveness, and developing a sound intuitive graphical decision aid, canonical momentum indicators (CMI), faithful to the sophisticated algebraic model. We argue that these tools will become increasingly important to aid simulationstudies of the importance of maneuver in combat in the 21st century.

Integration of the NTC Tactical Database and JANUS(T)

Abstract This thesis investigates the integration of data from the U.S. Army National Training Center (NTC) Tactical Database into the JANUS(T) Combat Simulation System. This data integration is necessary to allow a mathematicalcomparison of the two combat simulation systems as directed and funded by the U.S. Army Models Committee, and supported by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. The thesis documents the process of creating JANUS(T) scenarios based on data extracted from the NTC Tactical Database, and the processing of JANUS(T) output to facilitate the model comparison. The thesis also documents the use of JANUS(T) and NTC data as a training device and possible combat decision support system for battalion and lower level combat commanders and their staffs.
