Army Unit Warfare Simulation Experiment by Using Agent Technology

Abstract

The use of agent-based simulation experiment technology throughout the concept development process and simulation implementing may have a direct impact on the Army’s ability to resolve these critical force structure issues, inform the acquisition of future combat platforms, and determine the future use of new-style vehicles in an Army force. Thus, Army unit warfare simulation experiment by using agent technology is studied in this paper. The warfare task(s) expression is presented and warfare entity agent model is designed. Through an agent-based simulation experiment platform, EINSTein, the demonstration system is established and Army unit warfare simulation experiment is implemented, by which some results are obtained. Simulation experiment proves the feasibility and efficiency of our model and simulation experiment system, and shows its advantages in realizing real-time tactical warfare activities simulation.
