The goal of this study was to help establish the strategic design for a comprehensive system to assess and manage the cost and capacity of the Air Force's pipeline for enlisted technical training. The study team concluded that such a system is useful only insofar as it supports the decision processes necessary for managing effective training. Therefore, this report examines training management and decision processes to determine the need for ...
This documented briefing discusses the advantages of exploratory analysis over more traditional model-based analysis in the context of the weapon mix problem. We illustrate this difference first by example and then by definition. In the example, we walk through a traditional analytic approach and show the kinds of results that are often observed. We then perform a different kind of analysis-based on a large number of computational experiments the same ...
This report summarizes our experiences and observations in developing and applying models to support campaign analyses. Our goal is to provide key lessons learned to those involved in ongoing modeling efforts to move the technology of campaign modeling into the next generation. To this end, our primary purpose is to focus these efforts on improving analytic capability rather than on advancing computer science or on satisfying the ever-present demands for ...
The Model Integration and Management System (MIMS) is a structured modeling framework designed to simplify the installation or creation of models within a common environment as part od RAND's Military Operations Simulations Facility (MOSF) (Donohue et. al., 1986). The goal of the MOSF is to enhance the quality of tactical and strategic military analysis and the effectiveness with which is performed. Current operational requirements associated with applying a model are ...
