Blue SLAACM: A Stochastic Lanchester Air-to-Air Campaign Model for Blue Attack

Abstract

SLAACM Summary: *The Stochastic Lanchester Air-to-Air Campaign Model determines statistics of day-by-day attrition and destruction, for a two-sided campaign. -Each "day" the attacking side launches its forces in optimal attack packages. -Defensive counter-air forces respond. Certain defender aircraft respond with optimal sets of defending flights, while others encounter attack packages randomly and may encounter no opponents. Defender forces may include local air defenders, with different optimization rules from the other defense forces. *SLAACM does not simulate; rather, it calculates engagement outcome statistics analytically, with parsimonious probabilistic models.
