Abstract
A probablistic event store computer simulation of the artillery
direct fire support system at brigade level is presented. The
purpose of the model is to serve as a tool in evaluating changes in
artillery fire support system effectiveness as system and battlefield
parameters are varied. Parameters which are variable in the model
pertain to the geometric configuration of the battlefield, artillery
weapon employment configurations, artillery weapon ballistic parameters,
weapon lethality, tax-get configuration and vulnerability, artillery
system time parameters, weapon position accuracy parameters, and target
location accuracy parameters. A description of the model and a
FORTRAN IV program listing are provided.
