Survey of Investigations into the Missile Allocation Problem

Abstract : This thesis gives a description of the physical and tactical parameters pertaining to missile defense and offense, and then proceeds with an overview of the mathematical investigations done of the missile allocation problem up to the 1972 publication of the survey monograph on this subject by Eckler and Burr. Finally, it presents the results of a similiar survey done by the author of later unclassified studies on the missile allocation problem.
