Analytical Model that Provides Insights into Various C2 Issues [Presentation]
This presentation supplements a paper which develops an analytical model that can very simply provide important insights into the consequences (in terms of combat outcomes) generated by different C2 architectures for information processing. "A Lanchester-type model of force-on-force combat that reflects C2 architecture at the platform level is developed through detailed analysis of the target-engagement cycle for a single typical firer in modern tank combat. The most significant new aspect of this model is the consideration of so-called parallel acquisition of targets, i.e. new targets can be acquired while a previously acquired target is being engaged. Computational results are given that show that being able to effect parallel acquisition of targets can not only significantly increase a tank force's infliction of casualties on an enemy tank force, but also significantly reduce the number of casualties that are suffered. The model given here is developed by use of Taylor's new methodology for Lanchester attrition-rate coefficients under conditions of stochastic line of sight. This methodology allows one to play significantly more micro-combat detail than has ever been possible in Lanchester-type models. Hence, it has opened up new vistas for the mathematical modeling of force-on-force combat."

Lanchester-Type Models of Warfare, Volume II
This monograph is a comprehensive treatise on Lanchester-type models of warfare, i.e. differential-equation models of attrition in force-on-force combat operations. Its goal is to provide an introduction to and current- state-of-the-art overview of Lanchester-type models of warfare as well as a comprehensive and unified in-depth treatment of them. Both deterministic as well as stochastic models are considered. Such models have been widely used in the United States and elsewhere for the modeling of force-on-force attrition over the complete spectrum of combat operations, from combat between platoon-sized units through theater-level air-ground combat. This material should be of interest primarily to individuals concerned with defense planning, quantitative aspects of military analysis, military OR, war gaming, or combat modeling, although it may also be of interest to the reader concerned with the modeling and analysis of other dynamic systems. It should also be of interest to the concerned citizen who is interested in the foundations for defense analysis and has the appropriate technical background.
