Interdiction of a Transportation Network

Abstract

The problem of determining the optimum allocation of aircraft to an airstrike against a transportation network is investigated. The damage function is assumed to be exponential. A solution procedure is developed using dynamic programming and integer solutions are found. The number of aircraft to be assigned to the airstrike is considered a decision variable. A sensitivity analysis is run to determine the optimum value for this variable.
