Clark John B. COMMEL II User's Manual. Volume IV. Electronic Warfare Addendum (COMMEL II.5 Version)

Bethesda, Maryland: Army Concepts Analysis Agency, 1978. — 71 p.This document is an addendum to the COMMEL II User's Manual, Volumes I (AD-A031 613), II (AD-A031 614), and III (AD-A031 615). This addendum contains those changes necessary to Volumes I-III to reflect the modifications to the COMMEL (Communications-Electronics) II Model to incorporate the capability to analyze the interactions of electronic warfare (EW) with division communications in a combat simulation; this EW version of the model is designated COMMEL II.5. The original volumes (I-III) of the manual were designed to assist military and operations research analysts in the use of the COMMEL II Model and in the preparation of the input data base for the model. The COMMEL Model is a fully computerized combat simulation which includes a dynamic interface between division tactical operations and communications. The model output provides statistics on both communications system performance and combat outcome. The COMMEL Model simulates division-level combat with resolution to company level. Tactical and communications activities are represented by four interrelated submodels which periodically transmit event statistics to output files. The model is basically deterministic although message routing factors may be varied through use of a random number generator.
