Maximizing Transit Times by Interdiction of a Transportation Network.
Abstract
The ability to conduct offensive military operations is dependent upon the length of time required to transport war material to combatant units. Effective tactical air interdiction of a transportation network by opposing forces should maximize this time. When constrained by a limited number of available aircraft for interdiction, a strike planner needs to be able to determine the primary route of traffic flow, and to decide which targets to attack along this route. A solution procedure is developed in this paper for determining the optimal points of interdiction so as to maximize the time required to transport supplies through a transportation network. (Author)
