Abstract

A vital part of the research project Vulnerability, lethality and risk assessment is to maintain and develop the ability to generate data useful for operational analysts in wargaming. Such work has been performed, focusing on the methodology and in which format to transfer the results, where indirect fire from mortars and artillery against a mechanised unit was simulated. It is shown that data for assessments in games can be generated and some of the prerequisites of the work is discussed. A few other methods and result types are also discussed.
