Abstract

This paper describes the development of computer simulation models by the Operational Analysis Element of the Air Warfare Centre to support Force Protection planning within the Royal Air Force. The paper illustrates both the application of rapid system development methodology to meet a military requirement, and provides a case study into how a model can develop using the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) Inc ArcView modelling suite to meet a user requirement.
