Discrete Event Simulation for the Analysis of Artillery Fired Projectiles from Shore
Marine Corps artillery can be modeled as an anti-access/area-denial weapon from shore — a simulation showed artillery achieves higher destruction rates in the area-denial scenario (blocking freedom of navigation) than in the anti-access scenario (stopping an amphibious convoy), with unmanned-aerial-system speed and M777A2 firing delay as the key performance factors.
