摘要: |
The attack on the USS Cole within a civilian port, and the increased threat of pirating and terrorism on the high seas, underscore the immediate need for a maritime nonlethal capability. This research uses modeling and simulation to explore the requirements and tactical use of nonlethal capabilities in a maritime force protection mission. Specifically, a multi-agent simulation emulates a tactical-level mission in which a U.S. Navy vessel returning to Naval Station, Norfolk, VA, encounters a variety of maritime surface threats. Data farming is the method used to address the research questions by applying high-performance computing to the simulation model, with the intent of examining a wide range of possibilities and outcomes. The nonlethal capabilities are analyzed in their effectiveness to do the following: (1) determine intent, (2) deter inbound surface vessels, and (3) engage targets identified as hostile through the continuum of force. |
