Weapons Assignments in a Tiered Aimpoint System which Satisfy Dispersion Constraints.

Abstract

When one is unable to place the available weapons to cover every installation so as to attain a minimum specified damage on each installation, the supply of weapons may be considered as a scarce resource which must be assigned to targets in such a way as to optimize a prescribed objective. The prescribed objective may be strictly military or economic or a composite of various intentions. On the other hand, when it is possible to sufficiently fulfill the objective, it may be advantageous to obtain the assignment of weapons which is optimal with respect to other criteria such as cost, reserves, and combat efficiency. Within the scope of this study, we consider a mixture of weapons and delivery vehicle types.
