Model of optimal maneuver used in tactical decision support system

This paper deals with the model of optimal maneuver of units and its implementation in the Tactical Decision Support System (TDSS). The model is designed to be used for planning the optimal movement of units (soldiers, vehicles, unmanned robots) on the battlefield. The paper is separated into three main parts. Firstly, the model of maneuver is discussed; it is divided into five independent layers: topographic layer, elevation data layer, weather layer, hostile units layer, and friendly units layer. Impact of each layer on the model is then analyzed. Secondly, experiments used for verification of the model are presented. Finally, the implementation of the model in the TDSS is shown. TDSS is used to support commanders in their decisionmaking processes.
