Force Multiplier Incorporation in Combat Simulation

This paper will present a new methodology for incorporating force multipliers in stochastic Lanchester equations describing two-force combat. Force multipliers, particularly those based on information support such as Battlefield Surveillence Radar (BFSR), Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs) or Remotely Piloted Vechiles (RPVs), are considered major aids in warfare today in improving the effectiveness of combat without requiring additional forces. This paper will present the mathematical models and their implementation in a time-stepped simulation. Battle and attrition statistics are generated for situations with and without the presence of the force multipliers.
