Abstract
Determining the initial conditions for high-resolution
combat models presents a challenging modeling problem.
These initial conditions can have a major impact on the
outcome of the analysis, and yet there is a significant difficulty
setting those conditions in a manner that spans the
important areas of the input factor space. This paper presents
a method for setting those initial conditions using a
low-resolution, entity-level combat model, Joint Dynamic
Allocation of Fires and Sensors (JDAFS). Like its predecessor
DAFS, JDAFS models entities on the battlefield,
but to a lower degree of detail than most high-resolution
combat models. This allows substantial exploration of the
input factor space, and can help make the eventual highresolution
simulation runs more effective.
