The simulation of an infantry attack using geographical information systems

Abstract

An infantry attack over a specific terrain is modeled. A stochastic method described in our previous study is used. In this model, the position of each soldier during the attack is approximately defined by a square [10 x 10 m] on the battlefield. Making use of the possibilities inherent in a three-dimensional digital map, a visibility matrix is made up, i. e. the indication whether the enemy sees the soldier in a specific case is given.

Modeliuojama pėstininkų ataka konkrecioje vietovėje. Naudojamas stochastinis modelis, aprašytas mūsų ankstyvesniame darbe. Šiame modelyje kario vieta atakos metu apytikriai nusakoma nurodant kvadrato [10 x 10 m] padėtį kovos lauke. Pasinaudojantis trimačio skaitmeninio žemėlapio galimybėmis sudaroma matomumo matrica, t.y. nurodoma, ar konkreciu atveju priešas mato karį.
