Description of the Book:

The increased need of evaluation of recent worldwide operational contingencies leads various military-staff and defense-planning agencies to use an existing theater-level-combat simulation for such evaluation work. In this context, the ATLAS (A Tactical, Logistical, and Air Simulation) model is a candidate. This model has been widely used in the United States. However, the ATLAS model has some particularly severe potential limitations due to its aggregation methodology. Furthermore, its current documentation is quite poor and non-comprehensive to the general user. This thesis presents a detailed description of the conceptual basis of ATLAS for providing a better understanding of the model to the general potential users. The thesis identifies the model implications, analyzes the model logic and functional areas, discusses the model characteristics, and finally gives some suggestions for the use of ATLAS. (Author
