The Corps Battle Simulation for Military Training

Abstract

The Corps Battle Simulation (CBS) is a discrete event simulation system that was developed for use in military training exercises. Development has continued for more than ten years. Early development emphasized increasing functionality, but recent versions equally emphasize increased performance and capacity along with interfaces to outside simulations. Early emphasis on software engineering aspects; would have provided a more portable system today, but CBS still exemplifies how simulation technology can be used to enable more cost-effective training.
