Abstract

The paper is devoted to a quantitative approach to support one of the most important problem solution in the area of defense planning process - armed forces (AF) structure optimization. The MUT team, taking part in Polish Strategic Defense Review has proposed a set of methods and tools to support the analyses for the evaluation of required capabilities of Polish Armed Forces in predicted security environment. The set of methods and tools presented in the paper is limited to AF structure optimization problem. The idea of optimization and particular components of the conflict model and methods of solving the problems are presented in the sequence of steps. The structure of AF is fixed for defined threat scenarios under the financial constraints or without such limitations. The measures of combat power of weapon systems for different participants of probable conflict and some important parameters like terrain or type of operation factors (multipliers) are defined and presented. The experimental results of the allocation process are based on the hypothetical conflict evaluation.
