Solving Lanchester-Type Equations for “Modern Warfare” with Variable Coefficients
TL;DR: This paper develops solutions to extensions of F. W. Lanchester's classical equations of “modern warfare” for combat between two homogeneous forces that models the constant-speed approach between forces whose weapons have different maximum effective ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lanchester-Type Models of Warfare and Optimal Control
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to use the Office of Naval Research as part of the Foundation Research Program at the Naval Postgraduate School (FPRS) at MIT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force-Ratio Considerations for Some Lanchester-Type Models of Warfare
James G. Taylor,Samuel H. Parry +1 more
TL;DR: “Instantaneous” linear and square laws that are “local” conditions for winning are shown to apply for Lanchester-type formulations with time-varying system effectiveness, and qualitative insight is provided as to the “direction” in which combat is moving.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canonical Methods in the Solution of Variable-Coefficient Lanchester-Type Equations of Modern Warfare
James G. Taylor,Gerald G. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: A general form for expressing the solution of such variable-coefficient combat attrition equations in terms of Lanchester functions is given, which are introduced here and can be readily tabulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annihilation Prediction for Lanchester-Type Models of Modern Warfare
James G. Taylor,Gerald G. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: An important transformation of the battle's time scale is introduced that not only simplifies the force-level equations, but also shows that relative fire effectiveness and intensity of combat are the only two weapon-system parameters determining the course of such variable-coefficient Lanchester-type combat.
