1) Title: Combat Modeling and Model Validation Researcher(s): Imre Balogh, Curtis Blais, and Todd Richmond Abstract: The MOVES Institute is engaged in research, development, and evaluation of a number of combat models in use or proposed for use in the military services. During this session, we will describe and demonstrate activities underway in several areas, including: (1) modifications to the COMBAT XXI model for the Marine Corps; (2) investigations into crowd behavior modeling using COMBAT XXI; (3) validation studies of the Battlespace Terrain Reasoning and Awareness Battle Command (BTRA-BC) Battle Engine; (4) challenges facing validation of irregular warfare models like the Peace Support Operations Model (PSOM) and the Army Cultural Geography model. As an added bonus, Todd Richmond from the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technology will provide an overview and demonstration of their UrbanSim program.
