Abstract:
A new version of the New Zealand Defence Force's MANA model has been recently
released. To date MANA has been used in operations analysis modelling for all
branches of defence. Examples of its use include army wargaming, maritime patrol
experimentation, chemical and biological weapons dispersion modelling and
command and control experimentation. This paper gives an overview of the new
version of the model. Particular scenarios are used to illustrate key features
of the model, and its utility for a wide range of operations analysis tasks.
