A Study of Active and Passive Systems for the Defense of Urban Population Centers. Volume III. Illustrative Applications

摘要

The research reported in this four-volume Study developed a new procedure for solving constrained min-max problems, applied the procedure in a sophisticated model to determine optimal allocations of area active defense terminal active defense and passive defense (blast shelters), programmed the model for the computer, and employed the computer program in an operations research exercise designed to exhibit the general characteristics of the solution. Volume 3, The Results, reports on an operations research program conducted to establish the general characteristics of offense and defense solutions to the model. Several provisional findings are discussed. (Author)
