Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present several physics-based mathematical probabilistic models for Counter
Directed Energy Weapon operational planning. The scenario analyzed is that of a surge of friendly Blue aircraft
closing on a single High Energy Laser. The surge is a mixture of Blue active platforms, and Blue low-value
decoys. Blue is targetable for a finite time. Blue response/measures of effectiveness quantify the survivability
of Blue Actives. Red response is the number of Blues killed. Red defense tactics trade off longer engagement
times, resulting in higher probabilities of kill, and the number of Blues it can engage in the finite time.
