Modelling War Phenomena with an emphasis on Operation Research

Abstract

Different domains of mathematics and informatics have a great impact on a wide range of army needs. Mathematical models when formulated with appropriate parameters can determine an approximate state of war progress. Fields of operations research are of interest to military scientists primarily to recreate war phenomena inventory maintained, using simulations. This paper reviews basic war models such as Lanchester and Guerrilla models and proposes an inventory model with a practical simulation to demonstrate its applicability in modelling food inventory.
