Abstract

Modern battlefield scenario are complex environment in which a myriad of equipment and people interact to accomplish a given mission. Most of this interaction is performed by means of wireless communication via Command and Control Systems, which efficiency represent a critical factor the mission success. The assessment of these systems, and their supporting networks, is of primal interest to decide for the best equipment and military maneuver approach. However, there is a lack of tools that provide all the necessary behavioral and network features to perform the task. Observing this fact, this work presents an alternative to simulate a battlefield environment model by means of integrating a network emulator and a Multi-Agent System simulator. By combining both software, it is possible to assess specific characteristics of each area without limiting the model, thus providing the necessary data for an informed military network setup assessment.
