Mine/Countermine Basis of Issue Optimization Plan

摘要

The mobility and effective employment of tanks in a future conflict may be seriously threatened by enemy land mines. This thesis presents a high resolution stochastically based simulation to be used in the evaluation of measures of effectiveness to determine the optimal basis of issue of mine/countermine equipment. A discussion of the types of breaching equipment and the tactics involved is used to provide background for the simulation. Several measures of effectiveness are used to determine how the various configurations of breaching equipment affect the battle and battle outcome.
