Abstract

The Lanchester Model has been widely used to explain the main features of the battle. However, its application to actual cases seems to be limited. The purpose of this study is to attempt to extend the Lanchester Model with the System Dynamics approach in order to better suit the real modern AirLand Battle case. To demonstrate how the AirLand Battle System Dynamics model works and how it provides easier ways to account for variables, normally present in real combat situations, three common tactical scenarios are employed for simulation. The results indicate that the developed model can fully describe AirLand Battle and reflect the synergy that results from the interaction of strategies and force redeployment. The proposed model, in addition, allows users to easily adjust settings when simulating different scenarios.
