Lanchester for cyber: The mixed epidemic‐combat model

Future conflict between armed forces will occur both in the physical domain as well as the information domain. The linkage of these domains is not yet fully understood. We study the dynamics of a force subject to kinetic effects as well as a specific network effect–spreading malware. In the course of our study, we unify two well‐studied models: the Lanchester model of armed conflict and deterministic models of epidemiology. We develop basic results, including a rule for determining when explicit modeling of network propagation is required. We then generalize the model to a force subdivided by both physical and network topology, and demonstrate the specific case where the force is divided between front‐ and rear‐echelons. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

影响反恐作战的气象环境效能评估模型

2007年8月,上合组织成员国武装力量举行了举世瞩目的"和平使命——2007"联合反恐军事演习。从演习的5个阶段,探讨气象环境条件对联合反恐军演作战样式和新型武器装备效能的影响;利用层次分析法,结合专家评分方法采用合理的标度转化方法,构建判断矩阵,建立影响反恐作战的气象环境效能评估模型。模型评估结果与客观实际基本相符,对反恐作战效能和武器作战性能的充分发挥以及最大限度利用战场气象环境优势,具有重要的决策支持意义和重要军事价值。
