Analytical Modeling of Warfare

Abstract

The presentation was Short Course on Modeling, Simulation and Gaming of Warfare presented at Georgia Institute of Technology on August 23, 1988. This presentation is an introduction to the analytical modeling of warfare. The emphasis is on the Lanchester attrition equations. The presentation is divided into three parts: a section on definitions and back-ground, a section with examples on Game Theory, and a final section on Combat Models. The last section is the bulk of the presentation. The middle section on Game Theory is brief mostly because of the technical complexity of the material and the specialized nature of its application in the area of warfare modeling; it is included for completeness. The first section is intended to provide us with a common set of terms and vocabulary.
