Evaluation of ammunition and fuel supply systems of a Turkish armored battalion during mobilization and deployment using simulation
Cataloged from PDF version of article.In current wars, supply systems have become vital factors to reach military
success. With improvements in technology, the capabilities and means of military units
have also improved and as a result, the supply materials which military units require
have also increased greatly. The timely delivery of supply materials to the combatant
units is the key to success. The delivery of supply materials to combatant units at the
right time and as needed can only be possible with the efficient planning of supply
systems by staff officers. The insufficient evaluation of supply systems will cause
interruptions in delivery of supply materials to combatant units and consequently prevent
the combatant units from accomplishing their tasks.
In this study, the existing ammunition and fuel supply systems of an armored
battalion before alarm order is evaluated via simulation. By using the simulation models
which were coded for existing systems, commanders will have the capability to detect
potential problems and take precautions. The main objectives of this study are: (1) To
evaluate existing systems via simulation because of difficulties in executing real world
systems due to impediments in creating real world conditions and also economic reasons.
(2) To detect the factors which have significant effects on the existing system. (3) To
foresee the probable problems of the existing system by studying the simulation model
outputs using statistical methods. (4) To select the most critical region of Turkey
according to performance measures of interest. The codes of models are created by using
ARENA 3.0 simulation program and SIMAN programming language.Özçevik, AydınM.S
Simulation modeling and analysis of messaging system of a mechanized infantry brigade
Cataloged from PDF version of article.The need of information on tactical battlefield will increase in future battles. Not
only to gain information on battlefield, but also to convey it where it is needed on
time, will be very important. The next generation mobile tactical communications
systems will provide a robust, reliable, secure and flexible network to the mobile
users of tactical battlefield. However, it is a question under interest to predict the
impacts of different battle conditions on their performance.
In this study, a simulation study of messaging system of a model brigade in
which mobile users employ TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) radios and
TDMA technique for channel access is conducted. The focus of this study is to
construct a simulation model of a messaging system of a mechanized infantry
brigade on tactical battlefield and to determine if the system is capable of supporting
the data exchange in performance criteria under different conditions. Also, the
factors that have significant effects on the system performance are investigated. The
simulation is developed in Arena 7.0 simulation program and results are analyzed by
using SPSS statistical package program.Can, İbrahimM.S
