Defense against rocket attacks in the presence of false cues
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-12)
nder is using a sensor that is subject to false positive detections.
The effects of terrain on a system of systems
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-12)
Modern combat operations are predominantly joint or combined arms, in which different forces and weapon systems come together to fight as a single entity - as a system composed of many different systems. For land forces, ...
Tri-level optimization for anti-submarine warfare mission planning
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-09)
We develop the Game-Theoretic ASW Mission Planner (G-TAMP), an operational-level planning aid for the tasking of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) platforms to protect a high-value unit (HVU) from attack by hostile submarines ...
Littoral combat vessels analysis and comparison of designs
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-09)
The introduction of new technologies force navies to adapt and the introduction of surface-to-surface anti-ship cruise missiles from a large number of small coastal combatants created vulnerability in the Navy's force ...
Optimal employment of port radar and picket ships to detect attacker speedboats a defender-attacker optimization model to enhance maritime domain awareness
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-06)
The U.S. Coast Guard has deployed several hundred port patrol vessels to protect U.S. Navy ships and other high-value assets in ports world-wide. Each vessel has an armed crew of four, is relatively fast, and features a ...
Exploring the importance of information superiority to the decision maker
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-06)
The importance of information superiority has been emphasized as a critical capability that future joint forces must be able to achieve. No longer simply a future concept, it is being officially defined and incorporated ...
A heuristic algorithm for optimized routing of unmanned aerial systems for the interdiction of improvised explosive devices
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-06)
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are effective weapons for insurgents targeting conventional military and security forces. Real-time information gathering about likely use of such weapons is one approach to reduce the ...
Enhancing the operational effectiveness of the Ground-Based Operational Surveillance System (G-BOSS)
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-06)
The majority of casualties in the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are due to improvised explosive devices (IEDs). To counter this threat, the Marine Corps directed that a persistent surveillance capability be ...
Look again an investigation of false positive detections in combat models
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-06)
This thesis investigates the role of false positive detections in simulated combat environments. Existing combat models tend to overlook or downplay false positive detections. Signal Detection Theory provides the framework ...
Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) mission packages determining the best mix
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-03)
The threat of a large fleet engagement in the open ocean is currently over shadowed by the asymmetric challenges presented by state and non-state actors using the littorals for illicit purposes. Unlike traditional ...
