Overview
Pragmatic, no‑frills tool to quickly produce a company‑level reference network, doctrinally sound and training‑ready. Minimal inputs (enemy axis, area, resources, objective: hasty/prepared/fortified) → quantified outputs (layout, profiles, volumes, materials, man‑hours, phasing).
Scope (deliverables)
- Concise doctrine/RETEX synthesis (modern constraints integrated).
- Planning spreadsheet (Excel) that generates layouts + metrics.
- Targeted field POC to validate profiles, drainage, timings.
Approach (generation logic)
- Grid model (0.5–1 m) and terrain‑agnostic Excel heuristics.
- Front‑parallel orientation; frequent traverses; short segments (<20 m).
- Fire/communication trenches and saps placed at logical nodes.
- Stage parameter adjusts depth, width, lining, overhead cover, drainage.
Outputs
- Network layout + lengths, per‑segment profiles, earthworks volumes.
- Per‑stage BOM; man‑hours; phasing from hasty → prepared → fortified.
- Exports for field cards and CAD templates (standardized layers).
Status
Operational prototype reviewed; ready for iterations with field data and a standard tactical schematic.
