Abstract
This thesis considers the problem of estimating Lanchester attrition — rate coefficients for an aggregated Lanchester-type theater- level combat model, BALFRAM, which has been used for various high level defense planning purposes. Several alternative coefficient-estimation methodologies are examined, with their strengths, weaknesses, and problems of implementation in BALFRAM being discussed. Data requirements for coefficient estimation and approaches to aggregation are also discussed.
