When the stochastic version of the salvo combat model was designed, several assumptions and approximations were made to keep its mathematical structure relatively sim...

Open Architecture for Naval Combat Direction System

France has adopted an “Open Architecture” approach for its Naval Combat Direction Systems (NCDS) in order to reduce the system’s total cost of ownership, to improve the system flexibility and to ensure system interoperability with existing or future systems. DCNS has been contracted by DGA, French Ministry of Defence, to develop this approach by defining a global process to specify and qualify ...

A Stochastic Optimization Model for Groundwater Management

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

Weapon scheduling in naval combat systems for maximization of defense capabilities

Air defense is a crucial area for all naval combat systems. In this study, we consider a warship equipped with an air-defense weapon that targets incoming threats using surface-to-air missiles. We define the weapon scheduling problem as the optimal scheduling of a set of surface-to-air missiles of a warship to a set of attacking air threats. The optimal scheduling of the weapon results in an in...
