THE APPLICATION OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS TO WEAPONS SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

A review of the methodology of operations analysis (OA) has been completed. The basic steps required to formulate and solve an OA problem have been listed and discussed in detail. These procedures have been applied to a typical tactical situation -- the submarine barrier patrol. An effectiveness model for a submarine using a hypothetical mix of weapons has been generated. Kill probabilities and cost-effectiveness comparisons have been made for a variety of weapon mix possibilities.
