INTELLIGENT OPPONENTS FOR VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINERS

Offensive urban combat is one of the most difficult tasks soldiers are called upon to perform (USMC 1998). Urban combat is characterized by building-to-building and room-to-room fighting, and even a vastly outnumbered defensive force can inflict significant casualties on attacking forces. Effective, frequent training is an essential element in reducing casualties in urban combat. However, training in urban environments is costly and resource constrained (due, in part, to the terrain needed for training).
