Abstract. New Zealand's defense Technology Agency (DTA) has developed a model
to explore new methodologies for modeling warfare. The model, Map-Aware
Non-Uniform Automata (MANA), is based on the ideas of complexity
science, and is intended to capture at least some of
the non-linear dynamics inherent in actual combat. It des so
by treating the many intangible aspects of combatant behaviour in
terms of simple rules subject to a stochastic process. It
is evident by examining the model that even simple rules
lead to complex behaviour. The simple nature of the model
allows both rapid parameter space exploration and experimentation with co-evolving
tactics, yet it has enough sophistication to produce realistic looking
behaviours and tactics. This paper discusses the model and its
philosophy.
