Small Force Engagement Experimentation

This paper describes a simulated tactical engagement capability utilizing laser-equipped weapons and detector-equipped players which can be used for guard training, security plan effectiveness evaluations and, to a limited degree, computer model validation. Included is a description of the reasons for Sandia involvement, the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES), the small force engagement systems approach, security system effectiveness testing, pending equipment upgrades, and conclusions reached.
