Air Interdiction: Models for Armed Reconnaissance in a Permissive Environment.
Abstract
The report analyzes a munitions and time-limited hunt for targets of opportunity: e.g., the hunt for truck convoys by a self-contained adverse-weather/night attack (SCANA) aircraft. Stochastic models are formulated for various situations in which one or more strikes are made on targets encountered. Among factors considered in these models are target density, target ability to hide, target size, hunter ability to detect targets, false targets, munitions carried, munitions effectiveness, time per strike, and hunt time. Attrition is not considered. Various munitions allocation strategies are defined and examined with respect to their effects on expected damage per hunt. (Author)
