Abstract

Presented in this paper is a study for construction of a simulation system for the engagement of ground weapon systems. This paper proposes architecture for the simulation system based on agent simulation design methodology. Every entity of the proposed architecture is developed by assembling modularized agent components, and it enhances the reusability and composability of the entity. Consequently, time, costs, and efforts that are required to develop a new simulation system is able to be reduced by the enhancement. In the case of ground engagement simulation, it is very important to reflect environmental effects. Synthetic battlefield of the proposed architecture has environmental data of the battlefield and interacts with entities in the simulation system. The proposed architecture based simulation system can build swiftly various simulation models by the objectives and derive reasonable results from behaviors of entities that include environmental effects. This paper contains the construction of an example system based on the proposed architecture to verify the advantages of the architecture.

본 논문은 지상무기체계 교전을 모의하기 위한 시뮬레이션 시스템 구축에 관한 연구이다. 본 논문에서는 에이전트 시뮬레이션 설계 방법론에 기반하여 시뮬레이션 시스템 아키텍처를 제안한다. 제안된 아키텍처의 각 개체는 에이전트 기반으로 모듈화된 컴포넌트들을 조합하여 구성된다. 이와 같은 개체 구성 방법은 개체의 재사용성과 조합성을 향상시키고, 결과적으로 시뮬레이션 시스템의 개발에 투입되는 시간, 비용, 및 노력을 감소시킨다. 지상무기체계 교전의 모의는 환경의 영향을 반영하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 제안된 아키텍처의 합성전장환경은 전장의 환경 데이터를 가지며 시뮬레이션 시스템의 전투개체와 계속적으로 상호작용한다. 이러한 아키텍처를 기반으로 구축된 시뮬레이션 시스템은 목적에 따라 다양한 지상무기체계 교전 시나리오의 신속한 모의가 가능하고, 개체들의 행위 수행에 환경 영향이 반영되어 신뢰성 있는 시뮬레이션 결과를 도출할 수 있다. 본 논문은 제안된 아키텍처를 기반으로 예제 시스템을 구축하여 그 효용성을 증명하였다.
