A Model for Examining a Search and Attack Operation against a Group of Moving Quarries

Abstract

This Division Note presents a mathematical model of an operation in which a pursuer attempts to locate and destroy a group of moving quarries. The operation consists of a search lasting for a predetermined length of time, followed by a near-optimal attack. Characteristics of the attacker's locational and weapon systems and of the quarries are used as inputs to the model, which calculates the expected outcome and the variance of the outcome of the operation.
