Abstract:

The Campaign submodel of the Air Defense Air-to-Ground Engagement ADAGE model was modified to evaluate the relative merits of six target allocation schemes. These schemes included fixed, proportional, and Lagrange Multiplier procedures. The study examined the expected fraction of a target array remaining at preselected points in the simulation. Model output was provided for each allocation scheme simulated under different offense to defense ratios, aircraft attack profiles, and target priority systems. Conclusions were drawn based on a mean value differential analysis of the model output. Author
