Combat simulation Complexity Theory and Network Centric Warfare This is the full text pdf version of the book written by James Moffat, published by the Department of Defense Command and Control Research Program in September 2003. The book is part of the Information Age Transformation Series and looks at complexity theory, which encompasses fractal structures, nonlinear dynamical systems, and models of self-organisation and selforganised criticality, and its relation to network centric warfare. The chapters are titled: complexity in natural and economic systems; concepts for warfare from complexity theory; evidence for complex emergent behaviour in historical data; mathematical modelling of complexity, knowledge and conflict; and dynamics of local collaboration and clustering. Future Modelling and Simulation Challenges This site provides access to a Research and Technology Organisation (NATO) Meeting Proceedings, RTO-MP-073 Paris, November 2002. This contains papers from the RTO NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG) Conference held in Breda, The Netherlands, 12-14 November 2001. The aim of the conference was to provide an overview of NATO and national modelling and simulation (M&S) organisations, perspectives, projects, practices and policy. Other topics covered were the use of M&S to support operations (e.g. training and communication systems), future trends in M&S (such as virtual forces and artificial intelligence, gaming and agent technology, etc.), M&S best practices (such as Validation Verification & Accreditation (VV&A) and standards). Bibliographic and abstract details are available in HTML format. A table of contents, and the full text of the document (7.13 Mbytes) can be accessed online in PDF format. The document is contained in the RTO's Full Text Publication Library. Huntsville Simulation Conference 2001 The site provides access to abstracts and the full text of papers from the HuntsvillE Simulation Conference (HSC 2001), which was held October 3-4, 2001. The papers are grouped under the following headings, Battlefield Simulation, Distributed Simulation, Hardware-in-the Loop Simulation, Law Enforcement Applications, Manuafacturing, Missile System Simulation, Radar Simulation, Real Time Scene Generation, Simulation Based Acquisition, Simulation Methodology, Test and Evaluation, Validation, Verification, and Accreditation, and Visualization. All abstracts and papers are available in PDF format and are hosted by the Redstone Scientific Information Center web site. NATO-PFP/Industry/National Modelling and Simulation Partnerships This site provides access to a Research and Technology Organisation Meeting Proceeding, RTO-MP-094, dated November 2003. It provides the papers from the NATO RTO Modelling and Simulation Conference held in Paris, France, 24-25 October 2002. Topics covered included; NATO cooperative projects for training and exercises, modelling and simulation support of military activities, technological advances towards reusability and interoperability, developing infrastructure and architecture to support operations and acquisitions, and developing cooperation between nations and partnership for peace. Simulation of and for Military Decision Making This site provides access to a Research and Technology Organisation Educational Note, RTO-EN-017, by the RTO Studies Analysis and Simulation Panel (SAS) and the Consultant and Exchange Programme of RTO, dated June 2003. It forms part of the RTO Lecture Series and was presented on 15-16 October 2001 in Rome, Italy, 18-19 October 2001 in Stockholm, Sweden, on 23-25 October 2001 in Virginia, USA and on 10-11 December 2002 in The Hague, The Netherlands. The aim of the lectures were to provide an overview of the use of modelling and simulation for military decision making in the areas of training and exercises, operations support, analysis and acquisition, as well as reviewing the latest technologies. Themes covered are compter assisted exercises, computer generated forces, and human behaviour representation. US Army ERDC Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory CRREL is part of the Engineers Research and Development Center, ERDC, of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Through scientific engineering and research, their aim is to increase knowledge of the world's cold regions in order to help the Army, Corps of Engineers and the Department of Defense operate in these conditions. The site provides information about CRREL and gives details on research branches and their projects. There are full text technical reports from 1995, fact sheets on current research projects, and an online manual 'Methods Manual for Detection of Propellant, Explosive or Pyrotechnic Compounds'. There is also an ice jam and bibliography database as well as computer simulations of models. There is also access to the ERDC Library with access to the library catalogue, publications, cold regions bibliography and related links. Usability of Information in Battle Management Operations This site provides access to a Research and Technology Organisation (NATO) Meeting Proceedings, RTO-MP-057. This contains papers from the the the RTO Human Factors and Medicine Panel (HFM) Symposium held in Oslo, Norway, 10-13 April 2000. The objectives of the symposium were to examine the problem, research approaches and techniques for improving team performance and enhancing effectiveness, concepts for battlespace visualization and decision support, and the integration of collaborative battle management systems. Bibliographic and abstract details are available in HTML format. A table of contents, and the full text of the document (34.3 Mbytes) can be accessed online in PDF format. The document is contained in the RTO's Full Text Publication Library. |
