TOACS : An interactive computer graphic display model of a theaterwide on-line air combat simulation
Abstract
"On-line interactive graphics is a very effective research tool for examining the concepts, components and design parameters of theater warfare involving multiple aircraft. The aim of the present research is to design an on-line computer system which utilizes interactive graphic displays to develop a dynamic, two-sided mathematical model of theaterwide tactical fighter combat operations. The model, called TOACS, is very useful in simulating and evaluating airborne defense systems and the problems common to this type of simulation — such as the formulation of battle strategy for the commitment and guidance of interceptors against threat aircraft -- as well as those associated with the active involvement of human intervention. TOACS can handle thousands of aircraft, with hundreds of bombers and fighter escorts attacking tens of targets all controlled by a user who monitors the simulated battle as it progresses with the aid of interactive graphic displays"--Abstract, page ii.
