We propose a semi-dynamic approach to tactical level land combat modelling from the attacker's viewpoint. Our approach decomposes a battle between heterogeneous forces into stages and mini battles. For each mini battle in a stage, we use three models: a mathematical programming model for optimizing force allocations, a Lanchester simulation model for predicting whether or not the stage targets are reached under the allocations, and a model for weapon effectiveness update from one stage to the next. These models interact with each other within the framework of a decision support system to help the user with allocation decisions as well as prediction of force requirements to win the battle.

An evolutionary approach for the target allocation problem Erdem, E; Özdemirel, Nur Evin (Informa UK Limited, 2003-09-01) We propose an evolutionary approach for target allocation in tactical level land combat. The purpose is to assign friendly military units to enemy units such that the total weapon effectiveness used is minimised while the attrition goals set for the enemy units are satisfied. A repair algorithm is developed to ensure feasibility with respect to the attrition goal constraints. A tightness measure is devised to determine the population size of the genetic algorithm as a function of constraint tightness. Also,...
Semi-dynamic modeling of tactical level land combat Özdemirel, Nur Evin; Vardar, C; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin (2001-06-09) We present a semi-dynamic approach to land combat modeling at tactical level. Our approach decomposes a battle into stages and mini battles. For each mini battle in each stage, we use three models: a mathematical programming model for optimizing force allocations, a Lanchester simulation model for predicting whether or not the stage targets are reached under the allocations, and a weapon effectiveness update model from one stage to the next. These models interact with each other within the framework of a de...
Discrete-time stochastic analysis of land combat Eliiyi, Uğur; Özdemirel, Nur Evin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2004) In this study, we present the implementation and experimental analysis of a modeling approach for analyzing tactical level land combat to generate information for weapon and ammunition planning. The discrete-time stochastic model (DSM), which can handle small and moderately large force levels, is based on single shot kill probabilities. Forces are assumed to be heterogeneous on both sides, and both directed and area fire types are modeled by means of combinatorial analysis. DSM considers overkills and can h...
Simulation of capacity expansion and sequencing alternatives for a sheet metal producer Arer, MM; Özdemirel, Nur Evin (Informa UK Limited, 1999-06-01) We present a simulation case study carried out for a make-to-order aluminium sheet producer located in Istanbul, Turkey. We are concerned with a subsystem of the factory consisting of continuous casting, cold rolling, and annealing processes. Two simulation models are developed: (1) a combined model for studying the casting process only; (2) a discrete event model for comparing capacity expansion alternatives and order sequencing rules in the subsystem. Operational characteristics of the real system and pas...
An interactive approach for multiobjective decision making Koksalan, M; Karasakal, Esra (Informa UK Limited, 2006-05-01) We develop an interactive approach for multiobjective decision-making problems, where the solution space is defined by a set of constraints. We first reduce the solution space by eliminating some undesirable regions. We generate solutions (partition ideals) that dominate portions of the efficient frontier and the decision maker (DM) compares these with feasible solutions. Whenever the decision maker prefers a feasible solution, we eliminate the region dominated by the partition ideal. We then employ an inte...
