Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation (JCATS is a joint multi-sided, real-time, stochastic, high resolution, interactive computer
based simulation system that models force-on-force interactions from the Joint Task
Force level to the individual person. It is a data-driven, effects and physics based
simulation that accurately replicates entity-level combat. The model employs the same
terrain data used in the military Command & Control mapping systems and utilizes
validated military data and algorithms for digital terrain, Army Acquisition modeling,
and Joint munitions data. JCATS accurately represents observation, sensors, systems,
weapons, munitions, and vehicle systems for land, sea, and air components.  llnl.gov PX_Ranger) |
