AN OPTIMUM MIX OF HETEROGENEOUS WEAPONS SYSTEMS,

Abstract

The objective of the present analysis is to demonstrate the applicability of differential gaming to problems concerning the optimum mix of weapons systems. The problem is formulated as a game between two sides, Blue and Red, over a given period of time. The Blue player, with two weapons systems A and B, desires an optimum mix of the two weapon systems. He then has a tactical allocation over time to the two weapons for an 'arsenal' mission and an enemy force 'attrition' mission. The Red player, with one weapon system C, has a similar tactical allocation to these two missions. The payoff is given in terms of both sides allocation to the 'arsenal' mission. (Author)
