Expected Coverage When all Bombs Are Aimed at the Center of the Target

A report on expected proportional coverage. It is assumed that (1) the target is circular, (2) many bombs are independently aimed at the center of the target, and (3) these bombs are subject to a circular Gaussian distribution law.

The Problem of Cunningham and Hynd.

An investigation to determine the mean survival time and survival probability of a target from a burst of shots. The aim of the gunner is assumed to be a stochastic wandering process around the center of a target. 21 pp....

Application of Theory of Games to Identification of Friend and Foe

An identification of friend and foe by game-theory analysis for a player who must choose the best strategy from two courses of action.

Total Reconnaissance with Total Countermeasures: Simplified Model

A game-theory model which determines the effect of total reconnaissance and total countermeasures on the payoff and desirable strategies. Only a finite set of pure strategies is available to each player.

Solutions of a Special Reconnaissance Game

A presentation of solutions for a special case of a general reconnaissance model previously investigated in RM-202.

Reconnaissance in Game Theory

The present report is restricted to the case where one player uses a fixed type of reconnaissance, and where the second player attempts neither reconnaissance on his own nor counter measure. The influence of the reconnaissance on the strategies of th...

On Non-Zero Games and Stochastic Processes

An introduction to a class of stochastic games which arose in an attempt to find an approach to non-zero-sum games.
Research

The Duel with Time of Flight Not Zero.

An analysis of a duel in which the time of flight of the shots is not assumed to be zero. The survival chance of each contestant against the uninterrupted fire of the other is determined. 9 pp...

Solutions of a Class of Continuous Games.

A report on a general class of games whose solutions are discrete probability functions. A special case is presented in which one player has a pure best strategy. 12 pp...
