✦ Synopsis


The problem is to protect a set of t targets by n perfect interceptors against an attack by m perfect weapons. If the defender solves for an optimal preallocated preferential defense and associated game value assuming m, attackers, and the attacker knows the assumption of the defender and utilizes m2 attackers, he may be able to achieve significantly more damage than had the defender assumed that there would be m2 attackers. The article treats the robustness of preallocated preferential defense to assumptions about the size of the attack and presents results of an alternative approach.
