Warfare command stratagem analysis for winning based on Lanchester attrition models.

Lanchester equations and their extensions are widely used to calculate attrition in warfare models. The current paper addresses the warfare command decision-making problem for winning when the total combats capability of the attacking side is not superior to that of the defending side. For this problem, the corresponding warfare command stratagems, which can transform the battlefield situation, are proposed and analyzed quantitatively by considering the influence of the warfare information factor. The application examples in military conflicts show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model and the warfare command stratagems for winning. The research results may provide a theoretical reference for warfare command decision making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
