Abstract

Military centers in many advanced countries have utilized the GIS technology through a broad network called SIMNET in order to model battlefields and operational maneuvers, and they use it in different stages of military maneuvers. These stages might be implemented independently by different military corps or through interconnection among different corps. The system mentioned above is a forerunner in creation of vast domain-based connections between different military maneuvers taking place around the country via a continuous and homogeneous network, and in this method the distributional modeling has been exploited. In this system, computer images and the technology of connection networks have been combined with the aim of creating a common artificial environment to achieve a situation like that of real world. Here the ARC/INFO software is used for establishment of a digital data bank that can be used for distributional modeling of military operation.
