Original abstract

The importance of effective operational planning as a decision-support tool is steadily increasing across various domains. There is significant potential in combining operational insights with high-level human reasoning. These insights, which are derived through modeling and simulation, are critical to enhancing operational effectiveness. Constructive wargaming offers a vital advantage in military planning by optimizing activity options and improving operational efficiency and readiness in a rapidly changing security environment. It could be employed to plan complex operations, conduct military training, or develop doctrines and standards. This paper presents a simplified example and approach to determining the optimal swarm configuration, explicitly focusing on the number of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) required for particular tactical tasks. This example may inspire additional scenarios or be integrated into wargaming simulations as a tool to enhance the effectiveness of swarm behavior.
