The multiples launch rocket system (MLRS) is a highly survivable and automated complement to conventional cannon artillery. For best survivability against counter-battery fire, MLRS operations rely on rapid ''shoot-and-scoot'' tactics by widely dispersed launchers. Such tactics may be difficult to include in a battlefield simulation without requiring players for the individual MLRS items: launchers and resupply vehicles. To reduce this demand on player resources, a computer model has been developed to automate the behavior of the items, consistent with the published operations doctrine. A player is required to determine the area of operation and certain key locations for an MLRS firing platoon. Analysis of trafficability in the operations area and direction the movement of the items, as the perform fire missions, resupply, and replenishment of platoon stocks, is completely automated. A finite state machine representation of the items is used. The model is currently implemented on a VAX 6310. It will be integrated with the Janus battlefield trainer.
