Abstract

This paper highlights a model developed by TASC, Inc. under contract to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This project models and simulates an evacuation of American citizens and other important foreign nationals from a destabilized foreign country by utilizing available U.S. military resources. This project demonstrates how different evacuation plans can quickly be compared analytically through computer simulation. The software chosen for the simulation and analysis is the Integrated Model Development Environment (IMDE), an object-oriented discrete-event simulation package. The implementation of the model features reconfigurable mission plans and detailed simulation-independent animations. This model was demonstrated at the 1995 Joint Warfare Interoperability Demonstration (JWID).
