DNA-MAN: Dynamic Natural Attributes for Synthetic Military Forces

Higher-fidelity human behavioral models promise to enhance a wide range of simulations where high-risk and high-threat environments make human performance assessment difficult. This paper explores a methodology for implementing high fidelity human behaviors in simulation. In addition to combat models, first-responder simulations for police, fire, and rescue may benefit. Homeland security simulations ranging from border patrol to civil defense and the global war on terrorism are also prime candidates for these techniques.
