Abstract
The planning and decision-making process for conducting combat operations must take into account the development of the situation in a number of diverse areas that affect the action of forces and resources on the battlefield. An analysis of their impact can be done through computational programs and mathematical algorithmic models, using a raster representation of geographic and tactical data. Raster data layers in the mathematical model allow for a combination of surface effects, terrain elevation and weather effects as well as the forces and vehicles of both the enemy and friendly units. Mathematical calculations result in a maneuver route, optimized based on predefined criteria, such as speed and safety. The result can have a double use. In case of the maneuver of enemy forces and vehicles, it is possible to simulate their probable future activity. The result of combining all effects of the situation on the battlefield is the optimal route of maneuver of friendly units designed in several seconds. Utilization of such software will provide commanders with substantive independence and speed of decision-making in the course of military operations. Sharing designed maneuver route with all adjacent units and higher headquarters also enables to coordinate the activity of all superior task forces.

The offensive maneuver models were implemented in MCS CZ by assoc. prof. Ing. Petr Stodola, PhD, on the basis of a proposal by the author of this article.
