Battlefield modeling and simulation, challenges, limitation and implementation

Battle and defense are always risky and costly, along with consuming lots of manpower and time. Every nation, especially our beloved homeland of Iran, due to its geographical location, rich resources and special political conditions, is forced to spend this effort and money to establish security. But can these difficulties be managed by some means and at some periods of time? With the advent of computers, artificial intelligence and its widespread application in various aspects of life, human beings have in fact achieved a fast and low-cost agent. This use of artificial intelligence in battle is very common today. The purpose of this study is to obtain a systematic framework for battle simulation and then to model and implement a battle simulation which helps managers in order to make decisions. To create this framework, we gathered the history of its evolution, described the relevant perspectives and methods in battle simulation, and then we addressed the challenges ahead in simulating the chaotic phenomenon of battle, and explained the limitations of simulation. Then, the mathematical requirements for our simulation have been presented and fundamental components of a battle such as battlefield, soldiers and movement have been simulated. Soldiers also equipped with various functions which let them make dynamic and automated decisions and find a safe path. The present research from the perspective of method is an analytical, library, applied and extensive research.
