The Conflict Model (ConMod) is an automated, high-resolution, echelons-above-corps (EAC) conflict simulation, which is in development at the Conflict Simulation Center (CSC) of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The project is jointly sponsored by the Army and LLNL, with Air Force participation in the form of two officers assigned to the project team. This paper is intended to provide prospective users of (ConMod) with an understanding of its basic characteristics. By ''prospective users'' three groups are included: those who will work with ConMod directly; those who will interact with the model, such as in operational support or training modes; and those who will use the results of studies made with ConMod. The project origins are discussed, together with development plans, and potential applications. The requirements expressed by the Army and the Laboratory are summarized. Next, the design concepts of ConMod will be described. These will be elaborated in two major areas, software design and simulation design. In the software area, first the software development methods used by the project will be discussed. Then the system support environment will be described. In the simulation area, first the model architecture will be described. Then the major new modeling area, command and control (C/sup 2/) simulation will be discussed, including the automated aspects of C/sup 2/ and its application at the operational level. Input and output data requirements are then discussed, and an estimate of the required computer resources concludes the paper. 17 refs.
