THE OPTIMUM ALLOCATION OF AIRSTRIKES AGAINST A TRANSPORTATION NETWORK FOR AN EXPONENTIAL DAMAGE FUNCTION.

Abstract

A procedure is presented for solving the problem of allocating airstrikes for the interdiction of a transportation network when the flow of supplies is limited by the capacity of the system. The damage function is assumed to be exponential. The inputs required are the upper and lower bounds on the capacity of each arc, the vulnerability of the arc to attack and the number of aircraft sorties available for the mission. The procedure determines the segments in the network flow capacity to a minimum. (Author)
