TANKWARS for the Parametri Consideration of System Concepts

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA227284 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report discusses aspects of TANKWARS relevant to the future armament concepts for armored vehicles. TANKWARS was picked as a good tool for starting this effort. TANKWARS is a Monte Carlo computer simulation of engagements between two homogeneous mechanized forces. Recommendations are made of possible modifications to TANKWARS or the need for a new model. This report should be useful as an adjunct to documentation on TANKWARS or on GROUNDWARS. Keywords Tank guns, System analysis, Fortran.
