Assessing Consequential Scenarios in a Complex Operational Environment Using Agent-Based Simulation
Information
Date
2017 March
Summary
In an operational environment characterized by interactive complexity, emergence, and near constant change, this report examines whether agent-based or game-theoretic capability can improve the military decision-making process by providing additional rigor, speed, or flexibility during tactical US Army wargaming. The report considers methodologies to improve analysis of the human domain, identifies frameworks for modeling such a capability, and compares them against current Army wargaming practices.
