Abstract
Two areas of digital simulation are particularly relevant to valid system performance during predesign: mission modelling and man-machine modelling. In this paper, the latter technique is emphasized. The architecture (including the artificial intelligence components) and validation data for a particular model are presented. The components of the predesign process are illustrated in Fig. 1. This process has evolved from, and been applied to a variety of weapons systems (cf. Refs. 1, 2 & 3) and documents (for example, Refs. 4, 5 & 6).
