Various combat duels between an attacker, who owns a | |
stockpile of long range precision-guided missiles, and a | |
defender are addressed. The defender must defend a valued | |
target, or several selected targets (called primary | |
targets) by a group of defending targets (called | |
secondary targets, and are usually understood to be | |
surface-to-air missile batteries). The problem of the | |
attacker is to allocate his missiles between the primary | |
and the secondary targets so as to optimize various | |
measures of effectiveness. The models are divided into | |
two different categories: (a) Models in which the | |
attacker must find optimal sequencing of missiles which | |
are either anti-primary or anti- secondary missiles, (b) | |
Models in which the attacker must find optimal sequencing | |
of missiles which are either real (anti-primary) missiles | |
or decoys. Two mechanisms by which decoys may enhance | |
effectiveness, namely, exhaustion and saturation of the | |
defense, are quantitatively explored. Various cases are | |
examined in the thesis, which makes a heavy use of | |
stochastic dynamic programming and sequential games | |
techniques. Some numerical examples are also given. | |
