The Weapons Mix Problem: A Math Model to Quantify the Effects of Internetting of Fires to the Future Force (Arroyo Center Technical Report)

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, "the 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," along with a foundation for understanding its relationship to combat outcome.
