Model of Anti-Convoy Effectiveness (MACE) - a Computer Model for Anti-Shipping Wars

Published Date: June 1, 1974
A computer model was developed to aid in studying naval war scenarios in which anti-shipping operations are the main consideration. Performance of the forces involved is specified by probabilities of carrying out assigned missions, such as penetrating escort screens and attacking convoyed shipping. The model calculates expected values of the losses suffered by these forces. The model programming and inputs are designed to cover a wide range of problems.
