Republic of ChinaToday the force-on-force attrition models are widely used to evaluate tactics or appraise equipments. Because of modeling complexity and computational difficulty, most researches concentrate on deriving solutions to deterministic attrition models. Recently, some computational algorithms have been developed to study the stochastic behaviors of a combat model. However, the attrition rate of a combat could be affected by many factors to become a time-dependent function in reality. A simulation approach is proposed in this paper to explore the timedependent dynamic behaviors of a combat. Different properties can be computed from the simulation results to gain a more clear insight and understanding. A numerical example is presented as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
