Item Open Access Evaluation of ammunition and fuel supply systems of a Turkish armored battalion during mobilization and deployment using simulation(Bilkent University, 2002) Özçevik, AydınIn current wars, supply systems have become vital factors to reach military success. With improvements in technology, the capabilities and means of military units have also improved and as a result, the supply materials which military units require have also increased greatly. The timely delivery of supply materials to the combatant units is the key to success. The delivery of supply materials to combatant units at the right time and as needed can only be possible with the efficient planning of supply systems by staff officers. The insufficient evaluation of supply systems will cause interruptions in delivery of supply materials to combatant units and consequently prevent the combatant units from accomplishing their tasks. In this study, the existing ammunition and fuel supply systems of an armored battalion before alarm order is evaluated via simulation. By using the simulation models which were coded for existing systems, commanders will have the capability to detect potential problems and take precautions. The main objectives of this study are: (1) To evaluate existing systems via simulation because of difficulties in executing real world systems due to impediments in creating real world conditions and also economic reasons. (2) To detect the factors which have significant effects on the existing system. (3) To foresee the probable problems of the existing system by studying the simulation model outputs using statistical methods. (4) To select the most critical region of Turkey according to performance measures of interest. The codes of models are created by using ARENA 3.0 simulation program and SIMAN programming language.Item Open Access Evaluation of Army Corps artillery ammunition supply system via simulation(Bilkent University, 2000) Utku, Durdu HakanSince the use of enhanced technology by the opposing forces, Turkish Armed Forces must adopt new tactics, employ appropriately upgraded delivery equipment to deliver rations, fuel, ammunition, personnel, repair parts to forces in forward areas to be able to react in time. Within the budget limits, the opportunity to explore new tactics and to test and evaluate new logistics material delivery equipment is correspondingly difficult and sometimes impossible. However, by the use of simulation, which is inexpensive, new supply distribution techniques employing different equipment combinations both currently existing and experimental can be tested. In this study, we evaluate the performance of the existing and new systems of army corps artillery ammunition supply systems. The objective is to see whether the systems operate properly and to select the system design.Item Open Access Evaluation of army corps food supply system using simulation(Bilkent University, 2002) Pembe, OzanFood Supply System is one of the main elements of Army Logistics System. The ultimate objective in food supply system is to provide the food at the right time and at the right place. If this objective is achieved, the morale, the health and the strength of the soldiers on the battlefield will enormously enhance. In the literature, particularly in Turkish Army, there is no study which tests whether the existing food supply system operates properly or not under the war conditions and which shows the potential problem areas and which specify time standards under different scenarios. The objective of this study is to answer these questions by the help of simulation model of the system. This model can also be helpful to the staff officers who prepare logistic support plans. The simulation model of Army Corps Food Supply System is built in Arena 3.0. The results are analyzed by statistical methods. The related bibliography is also provided in the thesis.Item Open Access Evaluation of mobilization and deployment plan of a Turkish armored battalion via simulation(Bilkent University, 2001) Müslüm, SelimAs being ready for war as soon as possible and with minimum casualties during the crises is the first mission for the troops, the Mobilization and Deployment Plan arises as one of the most important topic for Army. Because this plan includes all the activities that troops have to execute for responding against enemy immediately. In this study, the performance of existing Mobilization and Deployment Plan of a Turkish Armored Battalion is evaulated via simulation. The Mobilization and Deployment simulation model allows military operation planners to build models of Mobilization and Deployment operation of troops early in decision process; perform bottleneck analysis and take necessary measures against the problem areas; and perform risk management of the operations before conducting the real ones. In this thesis, our objectives are to evaulate the Mobilization and Deployment system of an Armored Battalion, find out the significant factors of enemy threat on the existing system, detect the most hazardous border and the most hazardous factor for each border, and discover the system limits. The output of the model is analysed by experimental design, and ranking and selection procedures. The code of simulation model is written in ARENA simulation program.Item Open Access Modeling and analysis of movement of a Turkish armored battalion to mobilization task area using simulation(Bilkent University, 2002) Ürek, BurhanBeginning with the cold war era especially the Combat Readiness and Peacekeeping missions become more important than the other tasks of the armies. The War Gaming and the Combat Simulations, which are developed especially for the purpose of evaluating combat between heavily armored forces, have recently been dealing with these new missions. The movement of ground forces, which is one of the major tasks of any ground commander, becomes a very significant operation in these new missions. In this study, the existing movement plan of a Turkish Armored Battalion is studied by using a simulation model of the system. This simulation model helps staff officers of the headquarters which are the planners of military operations to build movement plans for the armored battalions early in decision process, identifies the problem areas in the movement plan, and takes necessary precautions, and evaluates the risk management before conducting a real operation. iii This thesis aims for modeling and evaluating the movement of a Turkish armored battalion emplaced next to border from assembly area to the mobilization task areas, determining the amount of time delay of each retarding event caused both by terrain and the enemy and analyzing the cost for using the semi-trailers to carry armored vehicles of the battalion. The output of the model is analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. The code of the simulation is written in Arena simulation program.Item Open Access Simulation modeling and analysis of border security system(Bilkent University, 2002) Çelik, GökhanBorder control is vital to the security of the nation and its citizens. Hence, states all around the world look at measures to increase the security of their borders. On the other hand, increasing border security also brings significant financial costs. In this study, the performance of a Border Company is analyzed by simulation modeling of the operational activities of a Border Company supported by Border Battalion. Our main objective is to find out more efficient ways of increasing border control and security along the land borders of Turkey. To achieve this objective, we examine the border security system structure and its components, observe the relationships between performance measures, and find out effects of security elements on the system performance measures. We also investigate system responses when changes implemented in the system or new resources added, evaluate different alternatives that improve the performance measures by using ranking/selection and multi-criteria decision-making procedures. The model is developed by using ARENA simulation system and the results are analyzed by using SPSS statistical package program. A comprehensive bibliography is also provided in the thesis.Item Open Access Simulation modelling and analysis of a border security system(Elsevier, 2007-07-11) Çelik, G.; Sabuncuoğlu, İ.Border control is vital to the security of a nation and its citizens. All countries look at measures to improve the security of their borders. But increasing security can bring a substantial financial burden. In this study, we analyze the border security problem of Turkey using a simulation approach. Our main objective is to find more efficient ways of improving border control and security along Turkey’s land borders. To achieve this, we examine the structure of the border security system and its major elements, examine the relationships between performance measures, and assess the effectiveness of security elements on each system performance measure. We also look into the issues of planned changes and additional resources, and we evaluate new alternative system designs. The results of simulation experiments are analyzed by statistical methods.
