Use of discounted force arrivals in static force comparisons

Abstract

In traditional static comparisons of two opposing forces, weapons systems on each side are added together after weighting them according to a weapon scoring system. The scoring system does not reflect the availability times of the weapon systems in a perceived conflict. In this paper it is suggested how availability times can be incorporated by introducing the net present value of force arrival patterns. The concept is extended to include the case where uncertainty concerning warning time is reflected through a probability distribution for the time of outbreak of hostilities.
