This thesis presents the foundation for a stochastic
simulation model that will represent dismounted infantry
combat in urban terrain. The Simulation of Tactical
Alternative Responses, STAR, ground-air combat model, which
represents the parent simulation program for this proposed
representation of urban combat, will be discussed in this
document. Two state of the art urban combat models, MOBACS
and URBWAR, will also be discussed. These two models were
developed under contract for the United States Army but were
never fully utilized as analytical tools. Certain aspects
of these models lead to insightful approaches to the modelling
of urban combat and these insights were instrumental
in the development of this model. The major portions of
this model are the representation of the terrain and the
procedures for determining line of sight. Other areas of
city fighting, e.g. movement and communications , were
not modelled but will be discussed as future enhancements
to this model.
