Modelling and simulation of combat operations in SimCombCalculator application

Abstract

The basis of the article is mathematical discrete problem connected with local military battle. The problem consists of two dependent problems. One of them shows how to find our troops allocation to enemy`s troops. The battle damage assessment function for the problem is proposed. The second problem is connected with finding global strategy of attack. Local battle is described by modified Lanchester model. Two level logistic model is built for describing materials and munitions resupply management processes. This idea was used in computer simulator SimCombCalculator. The paper shows how to use this simulator for finding attack strategy from the platoon to brigade level.
