Comparison of the Outputs of the Norden Battery C3 (Command, Control, and Communications) Model and the Ballistic Research Laboratory Message Processing Model

摘要

This report critiques the Norden Battery C3 model and its ability to perform communication analyses in support of the Division Support Weapon System (DSWS) - later renamed the Howitzer Improvement Program (HIP). The Ballistic Research Laboratory Message Processing Model (BRLMPM) was used to perform the evaluation. Mathematical and statistical analyses of mean mission durations were performed as part of the study. It was found that if certain modifications are made to the Norden model and its data inputs, it should be adequate to perform the needed analyses.
