An Agent-Based Battlefield Simulation Framework for Decision Support

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the continuous development of information technology, as well as sophisticated reconnaissance technology and developed communications network technology, massive data has been brought into battlefield simulation system. Effective management and use of such massive, distributed information in battlefield simulation, thus turn information superiority into decision superiority, has increasingly become a hot research field. To provide decision support for commanders at all levels in the complex battlefield environment, we need to establish a hierarchical battlefield environment model, and to consider the demand of intelligent decision support during the modeling of battlefield. This paper refines the common characteristic of battlefield simulation systems, proposes a battlefield simulation framework based on multi-agent. Intelligent agent was used to model battlefield troops, which brings in decision support into battlefield simulation system. The framework can be implemented with mainstream programming languages. This framework has advantage in simplicity, versatility and scalability.
