The economic sinews of modern war: physical limitations on war production

A report on the munitions of the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, and Japan in 1944. By indices of output and input, the munitions outputs are compared with the total economy-wide consumption of metals and energy....

Application of concepts from kinetic theory of gases to interception problem.

An application as an analogy of the kinetic theory of gases to those phases of the intercepting problem which involve random motion of the interception or intercepted aircraft. A derivation of equations for the mean free paths of bomber and fighter a...

A preliminary model for an air battle.

A preliminary air battle model to determine the survival probabilities in a given situation. A formation of bombers entering defended territory is detected by an early-warning network. Long-range fighters, under broadcast control, take off to interce...

Local Defense of Targets of Equal Value

An analysis to determine optimal attack and defense strategies. Both opponents know each other's capacities, but not each other's choice of strategies. (See also RM-320, RM-329.)...

On the equality min max = max min, and the theory of games

A new elementary proof of von Neumann's minimum-maximum theorem. The possibility of determining an approximate saddle-point to the original problem by the solution of a system of equation solutions is presented....

Climb path for least elapsed time.

An examination of an engineering method which determines the path a jet-powered airplane must follow to achieve a specified speed and altitude in the least elapsed time. An analysis of the suitability of the method and the conditions under which it b...
