Abstract
Complexities of human behaviour can cause unexpected outcomes in security and defence operations. In order to better understand the range of potential complications and outcomes it is essential to leverage constructive simulation in order to move beyond the real-world limitations of time and space. To date, however, there has been limited representation of the nuances of effects, both kinetic and non-kinetic, on human behaviour in defence modelling and simulation. This ongoing challenge is being addressed by researchers across multiple disciplines and countries, but collaboration is hampered by different conceptual approaches, knowledge systems, terminology and, in some cases, different definitions for the same terminology. In this paper we cover essential definitions for constructive simulation modelling of human behaviour and present a context-agnostic agent behaviour reference model developed during NATO MSG-198. In the presentation of this model we establish common concepts and terminology to aid in cross-disciplinary discussions of human behaviour modelling in constructive simulations. We then present examples to demonstrate how this reference model can be used to establish common ground for human behaviour modelling across different simulation disciplines, approaches, and application areas.
