A Canadian Approach Towards Network Enabled Capabilities ? I: Simulation Validation & Illustrative Examples
Authors: Rick McCourt, Kevin Ng, Roy Mitchell
Abstract
This paper presents an approach to understanding networked enabled operations using agent-based simulations. We describe the newly created agent- based software ABSNEC, highlighting some of its salient features the ability to represent human factors towards the analysis of battle outcomes in network operations; and the ability to represent realistic force structures with tiered C2 architectures. We provide affirmative results of three validation techniques to date on the model. Finally, we demonstrate the utilization of ABSNEC to acquire meaningful insights for analysis through two examples a study on the interrelationship between fratricide, human factors and situation awareness; and generation of alternative combat strategies for a military engagement.
