Military Applications of Modeling - Selected Case Studies

This book, first published in 1981, offers a critical review of the techniques of mathematical modelling and their appropriate application to military operations research - the analysis of data (historical data, exercise and test results, and intelligence) in preparation for war. The virtues of sophistication via simplicity, and the beauty of the artful finesse, emerge as the signature of successful modelling.
