The Effects of Splitting Exponential Stochastic Lanchester Battles
研究了将指数随机兰彻斯特损耗模型应用于被拆分为不同小规模交战的战斗时，发现防御方在战斗被拆分为更多并行小交战时优势增加的非直观趋势。
AbstractThe Exponential Stochastic Lanchester (ESL) model of attrition is well known and can be found in many combat models. This paper is concerned with exploring the effects of applying the ESL attrition model to battles which have been split into different arrangements of smaller engagements or fire fights. These fire fights were mainly resolved using a Markov chain formulation of the ESL model. Some interesting and non-intuitive trends were uncovered. It is shown that the ESL model predicts an increasing advantage for the defending side as a battle is split into a larger number of smaller parallel engagements.Keywords: combat modellingLanchester modelsmilitary
