Abstract:
Digital computers are used in several ways to simulate military situations. Three types of these simulations are examined an offline simulation using a special simulation language MILITRAN, a very similar off-line simulation using a general purpose language FORTRAN 63, and an on-line simulation using FORTRAN 60 and FORTRAN Symbolic. The essential features of a simulation language are identified. These features lead to the identification of a class of problems for which the simulation language is superior to the general purpose language. A sample problem is coded in both MILITRAN and FORTRAN 63. An appendix contains a description of MILITRAN in a format allowing a convenient comparison of features with other languages available at USNPGS. An on-line simulation is presented. It employs and demonstrates some possibilities of the satellite mode of the CDC-1604. On-line simulations are seen to possess advantages over off-line simulations for a large class of users. Areas where these advantages should be more fully exploited are noted. An appendix contains detailed instructions for writing an on-line simulation for the USNPGS satellite system. Author
