Given the progress made in the applications of decision-making, optimal planning, and the use of operations research methods, in your opinion, what are the areas of application of operations research in the security and military aspect
In my opinion, threat identification (possible threat elements, threat size, threat time, possible effects, etc.) and identification of possible counter-actions should be the most likely usage area.
According to Fox et al. (2019) "Applications of Operations Research and Management Science for Military Decision Making," key elements for OAR applications: the formulation process, the solution process, the interpretation of the mathematical answer in context of the actual problem, and the sensitivity analysis. In my opinion there could be two questions to follow up on this: "Did you find appropriate techniques to obtain a solution?" If not, try optional techniques. Another question: "Did you over simplify the process?"
I did a review of optimisation studies in military-oriented OR. I can send it to you.
But is your question downstream at the Operations end, or upstream at the developmental strategy and policy end?
Thank you for replying on military-oriented OR,
We are about to engage summer students diving into this and would be pleased to receive a review of optimisation studies in military-oriented OR.
