A User's Guide for LOGATAK. A Simulation Model to Analyze Logistic Network Distribution and Interdiction

摘要

This user's guide describes the LOGATAK computer simulation model and its applications. The model is a transportation network simulation by which logistics and combat forces are moved throughout a theater of operations. Interdiction strategies are tested using the model to determine vulnerabilities in the transportation system and evaluate the effectiveness of interdiction against forces and resupply. The model was originally developed in 1977 by the BDM Corporation based on the MAWLOGS (Model of the Army Worldwide Logistics) modeling system. Since then, a number of improvements and enhanced capabilities have been made, resulting in an effective interdiction analysis tool. (Author)
