A Stochastic Model for Air Interdiction

Abstract

In a recent paper, Armitage (Allocation of Sorties in Air Interdiction, Journal of the Operations Research Society of America, XVIII, No. 3 (May-June), pp. 483-496) has considered a deterministic model of air interdiction in a simplified hostile country through which material is supplied. In this report, an analogous stochastic model is developed. Three important elements of a stochastic model for air interdiction are stochastic processes describing the movement of trucks carrying the material, amount of material, etc., a class of methods of air interdiction and optional method of air interdiction. In this report, the authors have studied the movement of trucks and amount of material reaching the friendly country and have also considered the effect of air interdiction. (Author)
