For game theory fags - found this briefing from Rand. Here's the abstract - The effectiveness of attacks on time critical targets (suppression of enemy air defenses, interdiction, and anti-theater ballistic missile missions) often depends on decisions made by the adversary. Game theory is a way to study likely changes in enemy behavior resulting from various attack capabilities and goals. Engagement-level combat is treated as a two-player game in which each player is free to choose its strategy. The response an intelligent opponent is likely to make to differing levels of threat capability is critical to understanding and measuring the capability necessary to induce the enemy to follow a preferred course of action. Enemy willingness to engage is an important factor. If the enemy decides not to launch missiles or move ground vehicles, it has become paralyzed, in itself a worthy goal. The emphasis in the study is on the choice of strategies in realistic military situations; all can be analyzed with straightforward mathematics. Finally, the authors discuss situations in which the two sides have different views of the duration of the conflict or the appropriate measures of effectiveness. It is a great advantage to a combatant to know the opponent’s real objectives.

 

You can ready a copy online here - https://www.rand.org/pubs/documented_briefings/DB385.html. It was produced for the US Air Force in 2004.

 

Did you know Rand has a project called "Project Air Force".

 

This research took place in the Aerospace Force Development Program of RAND Project AIR FORCE. The documented briefing expands the game theoretic approach used in Dynamic Command and Control: Focus on Time Critical Targets, MR-1437-AF (government publication; not releasable to the general public). The work was sponsored by the Air Force director of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (AF/XOI), and the Air Force director for Command and Control (AF/XOC)

More fun digging into RAND. This tool/manual was published on January 5, 2018.

 

Defensive Space Analysis Tool (DSPAT): Version 2.0

This manual explains how to use the Defensive Space Analysis Tool (DSPAT), which was developed to compare alternative approaches to space control in terms of their mission effectiveness, feasibility, escalation risk, and political cost.

 

Holy heck! Skimmed through it. It's a VBA excel tool.

 

This manual explains how to use the Defensive Space Analysis Tool (DSPAT), which was developed to compare alternative approaches to space control for their mission effectiveness, feasibility, escalation risk, and political cost. Such comparisons are part of an analytical framework that RAND Project AIR FORCE developed in the report Gaming Space: A Game-Theoretic Methodology for Assessing the Deterrent Value of Space Control Options to help decision makers anticipate likely attacks on U.S. space assets and assess which space control options would help deter those attacks, versus which would risk escalating a confrontation or conflict, putting U.S. space systems in even greater risk.

I think I want access to this tool. And what's up with building in Excel? what about Tableau?
