PREFERENTIAL STRATEGIES

Abstract

A discussion is presented on targeting strategies for attack and defense. Weapons with unit probability of kill are pre-allocated by each combatant, who knows the enemy's total force size but not his weapon allocation. Canonical minimax solutions are formulated for all integral numbers of targets and weapons. In general, multilevel strategies are preferable to uniform strategies.
