Abstract:

A procedural approach to the design and implementation of a computer simulation model is presented, with a simulation model description and computer code. The discussion and example are intended as reference material for the computer science and computer war gaming courses offered at the United States Naval Postgraduate School. The sample computer simulation was designed for the statistical analysis of the comparative effectiveness of different ASW helicopter search tactics in a variety of tactical and physical environments. This simulation has available a wide range of input parameters and is applicable to all ASW helicopters and any search plan employing ten helicopters or less. The accompanying FORTRAN computer code was written for the CDC 1604 computer, and is adaptable to the IBM 7090-94 by the inclusion of the appropriate control cards and random number generator.
