Pay-Off in a Tactical Air Game

Abstract

A problem in tactical air-game with an additional role for the ground support forces has been formulated. A mix of different types of aircrafts for each of the three roles e.g., counter air, air-defence and ground support operations has further been considered. A simple approach has been outlined to calculate the pay-off function and it is shown that with the help of the theory of games, the optimal strategies for both the sides can be obtained.
