CARMONETTE (Combined ARms Computer MOdel) is a 1953 mainframe computer Monte Carlo simulation developed by the US Operations Research Office (ORO).[citation needed] While the first computerized simulation of conventional combat was "Air Defense Simulation", developed by the Army Operations Research Office at Johns Hopkins University in 1948,[1] the Carmonette series was a later variant of the genre, featuring ground combat at the levels of the individual soldier and company.[2] The principal architect of Carmonette was Richard E. Zimmerman.[3]
It was followed by CARMONETTE II which included infantry (1960–1965); CARMONETTE III which added armed helicopter support (1966–1970); also CARMONETTE IV added communications and night vision.[4]
Piero Scaruffi described it as the first digital computer game
