The Weapons Mix Problem: A Math Model to Quantify the Effects of Internetting of Fires to the Objective Future Force

Offers some initial observations into the internetting of fires process and a foundation for understanding its relationship to combat outcome. For the Army’s future force, what is the appropriate mix of weapons to provide a given outcome, and how might these weapons be employed? This research offers some initial observations into the internetting of fires process, Othe ability to engage a particular target using any number of potential firers who are able to engage due to being on the network which provides targeting information, O along with a foundation for understanding its relationship to combat outcome.
