Agent models II: dynamic path-planning for search and destroy missions -- the Bay of Biscay scenario

Published: 07 December 2003 Publication History

Abstract

Among the many modeling methods used for military applications, simulation modeling is one of the most popular as it offers flexibility and an ability to perform "what-if" analysis. In this paper, we discuss search and destroy missions in the context of the World War II Bay of Biscay U-boat scenario. We present a simulation architecture that supports integration of human reasoning with simulation-based optimization methods.
