A Demonstration of a Simulation Tool for Planning Robust Military Village Searches
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the current military environment, village searches are conducted daily by a variety of search team types. Staff officers planning these resource allocation problems currently rely on experience and simple data tables to develop the plans. The Robust People, Animals, and Robots Search (RoPARS) planning tool for village searches developed at Colorado State University can assist military planners with this tedious process. The tool consists of a graphical user interface and a resource allocation engine. Its output is a mission plan that is robust against uncertainty in the battlefield environment (e.g., unit speed, temperature, enemy contact). The contributions of this paper include the RoPARS tool and its robustness concepts, mathematical models, and resource allocation heuristics.

A Graphical User Interface for Simulating Robust Military Village Searches
In the current military environment, village searches are conducted daily. To accomplish a village search task in accordance with orders provided by higher headquarters, the mission leaders must plan and allocate resources (e.g., soldiers, robots, military working dogs, unmanned aerial vehicles) efficiently. The plans these leaders create are based on personal experience and planning data found...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model of Robust Military Village Searches for Decision Making Purposes
In the modern, fast-paced, high technology military, making decisions on how to best utilize resources to accomplish a mission with a set of specified constraints is difficult. A Cordon and Search of a village (i.e., village search) is an example of such a mission. Leaders must plan the mission, assigning assets (e.g., soldiers, robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, military working dogs) to accomp...

متن کاملDynamic rescheduling heuristics for military village search environments
On the modern battlefield cordon and search missions (also known as village searches) are conducted daily. Creating resource allocations that link search teams (e.g. soldiers, robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, military working dogs) to target buildings is difficult and time consuming in the static planning environment and is even more challenging in a timeconstrained dynamic environment. Conduc...
متن کاملAn application of principal component analysis and logistic regression to facilitate production scheduling decision support system: an automotive industry case
Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms, simulation approaches, and heuristic methods are extensive in production planning, they seem to be ineff...
