The terrain model can support information on ease of movement, obstacles, population and manmade structures. Simulations of close air support also may include specific helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, ordnance, ferry and reconnaissance missions. Amphibious operations may include craft, tide conditions, ferry and offloading scenarios. Combat support might include ammunition, fuel, water and rations. Combat engineer models could include structures, demolition, mine deployment and mine countermeasures and a limited set of nuclear, biological and chemical agents.
Weather models use historical data to provide realism based on time of year and day.
Extremes in temperature, rain, snow and fog can be inserted into any scenario. The fatigue and psychological stress induced in soldiers during combat also can be modeled. The longer troops are in combat, the more unit power degrades. Casualty and damage assessments also are performed. The computer system includes 26 work stations used for specific simulation tasks, as well as four other terminals used by the system's network managers.
