Abstract: Two strategic weapons exchange models have been developed, an allocation model and a cost optimization model. The allocation model is designed to allocate the fixed strategic arsenal of one side against the population and retaliatory forces of the other side in some optimal fashion. The cost optimization model is designed to choose a strategic arsenal at minimum cost in order to achieve a specified objective. The models developed accept a wide variety of weapons systems with their detailed characteristics. The size of the models generally depends on the type of problem being investigated but can be as large as desired within necessary limitations of computer capacity and running time.
