US Patent 7376542
[edit] Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for modeling a force structure. The method of one embodiment generally includes defining a plurality of units of action. The method also includes determining, for each unit of action, a plurality of measures of utility, such as for lethality, knowledgeability, mobility, survivability, deployability, supportability and/or affordability. In this regard, at least one measure of utility has a maximization objective and at least one measure of utility has a minimization objective. After determining the measures of utility, the units of action can be compared based upon the objectives of the plurality of measures of utility of each unit of action. Then, based upon the comparison, at least one optimal unit of action can be identified to thereby model the force structure.
