OSTI ID:5676758

Research performed to evaluate and develop enhancements for integrated battlefield training at the U.S. Army National Training Center California is described. These enhancements had been identified and concepts developed for their application in earlier phases of this research. The report consists of the basic volume summarizing the research tasks, approach, results, conclusions, and recommendations; plus twelve appendices. This research provided the following products: software that models nuclear and chemical environment and effects with appropriate fidelity and timing for Army training and which is ready for installation on NTC computers; a demonstrated capability for combining actions of real battalions with computer-simulated national battalions for training brigade/division commanders and staffs; an analysis of the impacts of using field simulators at the NTC for nuclear and chemical warfare training, and the designs of the selected simulators (i.e., common control system, radiacmeters, dosimeters, chemical detectors); analysis of the application of nuclear and chemical models to other Army battalion training models; conversion of the ARTBASS model to operate on the VAX 11/780; incorporation of the nuclear and chemical models into ARTBASS; and demonstration of the nuclear and chemical models using ARTBASS.
