STRATMAS
The Strategic Management System
(STRATMAS) is a computer software tool used for the simulation
of military and civilian operations. The program simulates
the complex relationships between military and civilian sectors
in situations such as Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief
Operations, Peacekeeping Operations, Peace Enforcement Operations,
and Non-Combatant Evacuation Operations. Data parameters
can be altered allowing the software to mimic many different
situations in various locales; users can even replicate any
existing country by setting the data parameters to match
current conditions. STRATMAS allows participants to view
the consequences of their actions in a synthetic environment,
better preparing them to make decisions in the field.
The Swedish National Defence College and the US Joint Staff
jointly supported the initial development of STRATMAS. The
program uses gaming theory and algorithms for computing the
data entered by participants.
