Analysis of Multiple Source Obscurants on the Realistic Battlefield (AMSORB). Volume I. Mathematical Models and Computer Program Description

摘要

The Analysis of Multiple Source Obscurants on the Realistic Battlefield (AMSORB) computer program is designed to calculate line of sight integrated concentrations, transmittance and probability of detection in a polluted battlefield environment. Provision is made in the program for treatment of pollutants from smoke munitions, explosive munitions, moving vehicles, muzzle blasts, burning vegetation, vehicles, and buildings. The program calculates wind fields in complex terrain and uses this information to calculate cloud trajectories of the pollutants and the line of sight integrated concentrations, transmittance and probability of detection between user-specified points (observer and target). Volume I of the report describes: the wind field, trajectory/transport and dispersion models; the source characteristics used in the program; the AMSORB model routines; and the general structure of the program.
