Quantitative comparisons of the combat forces on two opposing sides are virtually always formed as follows. First, all of the resources on each of the two sides are grouped into a set of categories. Each of the resources in each category is assigned a (nonnegative) value or score, where these scores are constant within categories, can vary across c...
This article describes attrition formulas that (a) consider area fire and point fire, (b) consider various levels of coordination of fire, (c) allow the explicit consideration of the use of various types of munitions, (d) allow a maximum density of targets for area fire, and (e) allow meaningful allocations of fire for point fire. For each type of...
This chapter describes various approaches for the paired comparison. There are two different approaches to determine rankings for paired comparison: (1) deterministic combinatorial approaches; and (2) approaches that pose some type of probability model of the competition and then determine rankings based on the schedule, results, and model so posed...
This chapter discusses the voting theory. Voting theory is designed to address cases wherein there are multiple decision-makers (voters) who have distinctly conflicting preferences concerning the relevant options (candidates). The chapter provides a general description of several major aspects of voting theory. The selection of a voting method for...

... The performances considered there are similar to our degrading platforms' performances. The models presented in [16], called Pexpot, Levpot and Dynpot, were also developed as vulnerability considerations based on the attrition rate function and thus indirectly describe the kind of expected degradation capabilities. An essential difference of our model is that the degradation of the system appears as a direct consequence of self-degradation caused by the effects of the repeated cycles. ...
... Most attrition models defined by means of losses in personnel, weapons, and equipment as a result of combat operations. The essential problem faced in applying the attrition models is how to assign the various coefficients in the model equations and how to match these coefficients to reach an approximately correct answer about the future battle [2 ] . ...
