SABRES II: Code Description and Users Manual

摘要

SABRES II is an individual resolution computer simulation of combat between two small groups using small arms weapons. The model is designed to simulate a battle between the protective force of a special nuclear material (SNM) transportation convoy and an adversary force attempting to steal the material. The usefulness of the model lies in its ability to compare, in a consistent manner, the relative value of the variations in the characteristics of an SNM transportation physical protection system. Two versions of the SABRES II model are described. An interactive version, allowing the user to control the movement of all combatants, aids in the generation of plans and tactics to be followed by each force during the conflict. A Monte Carlo version of the model, using the interactive plans and tactics derived from multiple simulations of the scenario, generates statistical analysis of the simulated conflict.
