Abstract

The synthesis of weapon-system complexes often involves consideration of tactical models in which combat extends over a period of time with choices of tactics available to both sides and subject to change with time. This leads naturally to the formulation of the problems as differential games. A tactic that lends itself to analysis is the determination of which of several available targets a weapon should choose. This tactic is incorporated in a combat model that includes a primary and supporting weapon system on each side. Optimum tactics are determined, and the implications on force structure determined depending upon the weapon range, cost, and parametrically specified performance.
