Abstract
There are many factors which affect a military unit’s success in a battle exercise. Some of these factors could be regarded as tactical and others as human factors. Some of them can be measured with numerical values while others are difficult to quantify. Nevertheless, they all affect the success of the battle exercise. This paper describes how to develop and utilize a method based on Bézier surface pattern recognition, which could be used for the overall military tactical analysis of a company’s attack. This paper also explains how this method could be applied to an integrated analysis of the most important tactical factors affecting the success and task fulfilment of an attack together with the leader’s decision–making and his or her tactical solutions.
