Abstract :
The Soldier Tactical Mission System (STMS) requires power to operate, and as the system becomes more advanced it requires even greater power. Currently this power is provided by a consolidated battery pack. This system must be able to manage the power in a way which is advantageous in the environment they are operating in - whether peacekeeping operations or war, in fog or night, in a jungle or a city. The architecture which determines this decision must be fed inputs as to what components provide what value under those circumstances. This research examines this issue with emphasis on the modeling of capabilities of the system with an agent based model to measure not only the value of components but the synergy created by two or more components.
