Application of differential games to problems of Naval warfare: Surveillance-evasion - Part I
Abstract
The kinematic aspect of surveillance-evasion is studied with a
deterministic differential game model. The model considers a Pursuer
with limitations on both speed and maneuverability (turning radius)
and an Evader with only a speed limitation. Conditions are developed
for the Pursuer to be able to maintain contact indefinitely. The
results of this research modify previously published results on this
problem. Shortcomings of previous work are discussed including the
fact that the surveillance-evasion problem has not been solved for an
arbitrary detection region. Related parts of the solution to Isaacs'
homicidal chauffeur game and its one-sided counterpart are developed
as background material. Some known allocation of effort in search
theory results are derived by the Pontryagin maximum principle.

Stochastic network interdiction for optimizing defensive counter air operations planning
Tsamtsaridis, Charalampos I. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-12);This thesis describes a stochastic, network interdiction optimization model to guide defensive, counter-air (DCA) operations planning. We model a layered, integrated air-defense system, which consists of fighter and missile ... -
Biological terrorism preparedness evaluating the performance of the Early Aberration Reporting System (EARS) syndromic surveillance algorithms
Hegler, Benjamin L. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-06);After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, questions developed over how quickly the country could respond if a bioterrorism attack was to occur. "Syndromic surveillance" systems are a relatively new concept that ... -
