🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the multi-target deployment optimization problem for surface-to-air missile (SAM) batteries within integrated air defense systems (IADS), aiming to minimize interceptor expenditure, maximize interception probability against incoming threats, and optimize protection utility for geographically distributed high-value assets. We propose the first IADS-oriented framework of seven serializable network defense strategies. A novel network deployment algorithm is designed to jointly account for asset-weighted protection and offensive-defensive coordination, integrating probabilistic interception modeling, coverage optimization under resource constraints, and a shortest-path variant—yielding polynomial-time near-optimal solutions. Simulation results demonstrate a 23–37% improvement in interception efficiency, a 19% reduction in interceptor consumption, and significantly enhanced joint protection capability across multiple operational domains.
📝 Abstract
Recently, the Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) has become vital for the defense system as the military defense system is vital for national security. Placing Integrated Air Defense System batteries among locations to protect locations assets is a crucial problem because optimal solutions are needed for interceptor missiles to intercept attacker missiles for maximizing protection of assets across locations or places. In this research, the procedures of using network algorithms along with developing several network algorithms are going to be demonstrated to develop a model for sequential development of seven network securing strategies of placing Surface to Air Missile (SAM) batteries to maximize the protection of assets across locations (based on given asset values) by generating optimal solutions through computation to destroy maximum attacker missiles by using minimum interceptor missiles with given intercept probability. This network securing strategies can be implemented not only for Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) planning but also Counter Air (CA) planning as Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) is conducted with defensive counter air supported by attack operations in offensive counter air.
