Environmental Effects on Naval Warfare Simulations
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998) Chu, Peter C.; Gottshall, Eric L.; Halwaches, Thomas; Institute for Joint Warfare Analysis (IJWA); Oceanography; Operations Research (OR)
Environmental effects have long been accepted as having an impact both on the tactical use of naval warfare platforms and on the naval warfare decision making process. Increased use of modeling and simulations (M&S) for training and analysis requires better understanding of the unique attributes of meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) data and its application in M&S. The well-developed field of forecasting METOC variation over time can be leveraged to better optimize METOC data flow into NWS through the application of information entropy techniques. A large-scale and a small-scale naval warfare simulation (NWS) represented by a RESA Pacific Rim scenario and the SAFECUR magnetic mine sweeping tactical decision aid (IDA), respectively, are evaluated for sensitivity to METOc' variation·. Incompatibility of spatial and temporal scales and abstraction levels between METOC information and NWS applications is noted. Results of the studies indicate that many tactical effects of METOC variation may be transparent to command and control measures of effectiveness. Validation and verification of IDA's must include studies of sensitivity .to full spectrum METOC variation . Averaging or linearly interpolating values over unknown regions is unwise given observed METOC data's non-linear characterisitcs.

Environmental Sensitivity Study on Mine Impact Burial Prediction Model
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2000) Chu, Peter C.; Taber, Victoria; Haeger, Steven D.; Institute for Joint Warfare Analysis (IJWA)
The Navy’s Impact Burial Prediction Model creates a two-dimensional time history of a bottom mine as it falls through air, water, and sediment. The output of the model is the predicted burial depth of the mine in the sediment in meters, as well as height, area and volume protruding. Model input consists of environmental parameters and mine characteristics, as well as parameters describing the mine’s release. The model user seldom knows many of these parameters, and those that are known may be of questionable precision. In order to determine which parameters had the greatest effect on the model and which could be simplified or eliminated, a series of sensitivity tests were performed. It was found that the model data ingest could be greatly simplified without sacrificing accuracy too much. However, several parameters including sediment shear strength were found to have a large effect on the model and were investigated further.

From research to reality a retrospective on the development and acquisition of naval capabilities during the Cold War era : report of a symposium held at the Naval Postgraduate School 12 and 13 June 2001
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2002-03-01) Colvard, James E.; DePoy, Phil E.; Institute for Joint Warfare Analysis (IJWA); Institute for Joint Warfare Analysis
The 200-year plus history of the U.S. Navy is a proud story of battles fought and won, of outstanding leaders afloat and ashore, and of selfless service to our Nation. Equally important, it is a story of the continuing application of new technology to the advancement of Naval capabilities. Perhaps at no other period in the Navy's history has the adoption of new technology in the Navy been as pronounced and effective as during the Cold War throughout the fifty or so years following the end of World War II. Why was the Navy able to make such advances? What were the circumstances that led to such remarkable achievements? How were the resources of the Navy brought to bear on the operational and technical problems of the day? One way to assess any aspect of Navy history is to seek out those were a part of that history and to solicit their views and experiences. This approach represents the basis for the present report.
