Multiple maneuver model of cooperating ground combat troops

Abstract

The article describes the possibilities of using the Maneuver Control System CZ (MCS CZ) in creating a multiple maneuver of a group of cooperating units. It is a tactical information system designed to support the decision-making of commanders in order to effectively deploy their units on the battlefield. The system evaluates the geographical and hydrometeorological battlefield influences as well as the enemy’s situation to calculate the maneuver axes of a unit composed of up to three teams with the same goal. To verify the calculations of mathematical-algorithmic models of the system, two measurements were performed on model situations. In the first of them, a group of three unmanned systems carried out an attack on an identified delivery system of weapons of mass destruction. The second model situation included a hasty attack by three infantry squads on anti-aircraft equipment. In both cases, the resulting group of maneuvers used the fastest and safe axes of advance, spatially synchronized according to tactical principles. In both cases, the enemy’s weapon systems were quickly attacked and destroyed immediately after their identification from three directions. The commander’s decision-making process was largely replaced by the MCS CZ calculations in model situations, which significantly shortened its duration.
