The RAND Strategy Assessment System (RSAS) was designed for analytic war gaming. It is structured like a human military-political war game, but can be used in a number of different modes that include human play with all higher-level decisions introduced interactively, closed model operations in which the entire war game is played out as a simulation with no interventions, mostly closed operations in which an analyst or players interrupt the simulation to make selected decisions or corrections, and various hybrid modes such as that in which a human Blue team plays against an automated model representing Red (the Red Agent). This briefing Note describes RSAS system software. It is a reasonably rigorous description suitable for those concerned not only with the RSAS models but with their implementation as computer programs in a larger and complex system. Users of the RSAS should also find it useful, because many of the complications encountered by those users can only be understood from a knowledge of software design.
