Abstract
IDA Ground-Air Model I (IDAGAM I) is a deterministic, fully automated model of nonnuclear combat between two opposing sides. This model is the latest in what might loosely be called a family of models that began with ATLAS (Kerling and Cole [191) and led first to GACAM (Bracken, et al.[12]), then to GACAM II (Bracken, et al. [11]), and then to IDAGAM I. This is a “loose” family because the only thing that really ties it together is that the developers of each succeeding model, before developing that model, looked closely at the advantages and limitations of its predecessors. These models were not developed at the same place or under the same funding; and, with the exception of Edward Kerlin, they were not developed by the same people.
