| CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing): It All Starts with Product Definition. |
DEC 1986 |

| Authors:
A. E. Stephens
|
 | The logical starting place for computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is at the front end of the production process - product definition. It consists of the part/assembly drawings, materials lists, specifications, and procedures. Product definition starts at the design agencies: two nuclear design laboratories (Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and a non-nuclear design laboratory (Sandia National Laboratories with two site locations). These laboratories perform the basic part design ... |

| MAF Fire Support Study Final Report. Volume 2. Annex 1. Study Methodology. |
31 JUL 1972 |
|
| Authors:
NAVAL WEAPONS LAB DAHLGREN VA
|
| Annex 1 (Volume 2) of the MAF Fire Support Study Final Report presents the methodology used in this analysis of Marine Amphibious Force (MAF) fire support requirements. The methodology is based on a mix evaluation approach which leads to the definition of a least cost MAF mix of fire support weapon systems. Included in Annex 1 is a description of the simulation models and mathematical techniques employed, among which are ... |

| THE OVERALL OUTCOME OF A CERTAIN LANCHESTER COMBAT MODEL. |

|
| Authors:

|
| Theoretical results are given for the probability of victory in a Lanchester model described by deterministic equations. The model is unusual in that both sides deploy only a constant fraction of their initial strengths actually in the field, the remainder being held in reserve and used to replace casualties. This phase continues until only one side can replace, and finally there may follow a phase which is in classical Lanchester ... |

|
| Authors:
LAMBDA CORP ARLINGTON VA
|
| This is the third of the three volumes of the Analytical Manual of the QUICK System, and is concerned with the Simulation Subsystem, hereafter referred to as the Simulator. Volume I treats the Data Input and Output Subsystems, and Volume II treats the Plan Generation Subsystem. This volume describes the methodology and techniques used by the QUICK Simulator, its logical program flow, and its data requirements in sufficient detail for ... |

| AN OPTIMAL PURSUIT-EVASION STRATEGY FOR LINEAR SAMPLED-DATA SYSTEMS. |
JUN 1967 |
|
| Authors:
Charles Howard Hutchison; Lawrence Flanders Permenter; NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
|
| Differential game theory and dynamic programming are applied to derive the optimal strategy, or sequence of controls, for a class of linear, sampled-data, pursuit-evasion problems. The necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of the solution are derived. A digital computer program for simulating control generation and system trajectories is given. The results of simulation tests using this digital computer model are presented to demonstrate the salient characteristics of the strategy. ... |

| A COMPUTER WAR GAME FOR DETERMINING THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF ACTIVE SONOBUOYS. |
JUN 1967 |
|
| Authors:
Robert Frank Harvey; NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
|
| In order to evaluate the relative effectiveness of different active non-directional sonobuoys, a computer war game is developed. One submarine, employing one evasion tactic, is opposed by one helicopter, using five prosecution tactics. The tactic of the helicopter prior to the initial detection of the submarine is seen to be critical, and this simulation aids in determining an optimum tactic. A cost-effectiveness model to use data from this simulation is ... |

| Authors:

|
| Problems of pursuit and evasion play significant part in naval warfar -- particularly in ASW. They are of no less importance in aerial warfare and are now becoming important in space. Their practical importance has given rise to a great many studies in both the USA and the USSR. The later were little known until two or three years ago, since when they have bocome more and more available in ... |

| CONCEPT PAPER: COMPUTER-ASSISTED WAR GAMES. |
NOV 1965 |

| Authors:
Robert G. Hendrickson; RESEARCH ANALYSIS CORP MCLEAN VA
|
| This paper explores in general terms the organization and characteristics of war games and develops the use of the application of display terminals and information processing equipment to war-game activities. The author identifies particular display requirements and analyzes the data flow between components of the game in order to establish at what nodal points display equipment can be of significant value in terms of increased response and report generation.

| INTEGRATED COMBAT GROUP COMPONENTS EXPERIMENT, PHASE III. VOLUME I - ENGINEER. |
DEC 1960 |
|
| Authors:
ARMY COMBAT DEVELOPMENTS EXPERIMENTATION CENTER FORT ORD CA
|
| This volume examines the engineer platoon assigned to the PENTANA ICG. The engineer experiment compared the organization, techniques of employment, major equipment requirements, capabilities and limitations of the organic ICG platoon proposed by the Office, Chief of Engineers. The experimental data were subjected to statistical analysis and military evaluation to determine the relative superiorities of the two platoons in performing different engineer tasks, their orgainzational and operational deficiencies, and the ... |
