Hybrid Pseudo-Random (HYPR) Dynamic Scenario Generation Capability

This paper discusses a new capability, the Hybrid Pseudo-Random (HyPR) Dynamic Force Generator. This capability (implemented in MATLAB) takes as input the geographic positions of a relatively small key subset of actual ground forces. It quickly generates realistic, dynamic positions for all remaining specific platforms in a military force structure. This capability was initially designed to generate scenario-linked laydowns for an entire ~3000 platform U.S. Army Future Combat System (FCS) Brigade Combat Team (BCT) with varying configurations. Each laydown was required to be correlated to a Horseblanket/Unit Requirements Sheet (URS) and established Operational and Organizational guidelines (O&Os) for FCS and its spinouts (e.g. Infantry BCT (IBCT)). Results were initially applied to a wireless connectivity analysis tool and an OPNET-based Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) system performance model of Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) and other radio systems/protocols. HyPR provided all platform locations on-the-move during specific battle scenario segments. HyPR provides a speedy and robust new capability to develop high fidelity scenarios, including movements with greatly scaled up forces.
