High resolution combat simulations to support training for close combat light applications

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6943789

Superior tactical planning and maneuver synchronization are essential to fight and win on the CCL battlefield. This superiority can be achieved by the use of a combination of field exercises and high-resolution, computerized, combat simulation systems designed to support training. Computerized simulation systems provide a cost effective capability to promote learning through repetition and permit the exploration of scenarios that are impractical or dangerous to apply to live exercises. Man-in-the-loop, real-time, and force-on-force simulation systems with interactive color graphics interfaces are now available to support CCL training. Combat simulations have been developed specifically for this environment within the Conflict Simulation Laboratory (CSL) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Research and development efforts are underway that will greatly improve these capabilities. Applications are envisioned in training support, mission planning, analysis of new tactics and weapons, real-time display, and real-time operational support. 32 refs.
