OA4656 Advanced Combat Modeling

The objective of this course is to educate and train model-builders (as opposed to model-users). The phenomena and situations that are modeled in this course range from fundamental shooting processes to force-on-force engagements and from minefields to air-defense systems. Special attention is given to contemporary issues such as the effect of information in the presence of precision guided weapons and UAVs, and the war against terror. The focus of the course is on analytic models that are based on probability and optimization techniques.
