“…Both capability and intent models have their implications (Paradis et al, 2005), but combining both models can give an effective TE model, i.e. opportunity model (Naeem and Masood, 2010). The sequential game is another an effective technique for complete and incomplete information model for threats with inclusion of sensitivities of equilibria as a function combining the threat and defender's optimization problem.…”

“…The subtractive defense strategy is inversely proportional to the number of threats targeting to VA/VPs. The hybrid of both these strategy is more suitable in TEWA systems (Naeem and Masood, 2010).…”

“…Applying the approach of Many-to-many SMA on TEWA seems to provide remarkable results. Although, SMA has been applied on TEWA system but considering the 2-D parameters (Naeem and Masood, 2010). While, aerial TEWA is a 3-D problem and cannot be effectively solved with 2-D parameters.…”

“…In aerial threats, it is crucial to find launch points because in general weapon do not follow the straight path. Moreover, gravitational force and some other physical phenomena make a projectile motion (Naeem and Masood, 2010). Therefore, it is important to consider relative motion of a threat for successful neutralization.…”

“…The simple SMA has already been compared with greedy algorithm and it was found that SMA algorithm produces more effective results as compared to greedy algorithm. One of the significant reason for the failure of greedy algorithm is that it focuses on minimum arrival time but does not consider the capability and intent parameters (Naeem and Masood, 2010). Therefore, we used SMA for comparison to our proposed system.…”

Efficient weapon threat assignment reflects military proficiency and requires prompt decision while managing the available resources. An important problem which commanders/decision makers face is to optimally utilize the resources in complex and time constraints situations. Several solutions have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, an innovative approach is proposed for threat evaluation and weapon assignment (TEWA) by following 3-dimensional stable marriage algorithm (3-D SMA). This proposed model incorporates new parameters and constraints i.e. supply chain, inventory of resources and multiple threats-weapons assignments that outperforms the previous techniques. This suggested model is based on threat perception followed by an integration of parametric based automatic threat evaluation technique for further weapon scheduling and assignment problem keeping in view that the threat with greater threat index has higher priority to be intercepted and weapons' kill probability. The experimental section shows that our proposed approach has greatly improved in comparison with other approaches. The results showed that the threat neutralization is improved up to 25% reducing the usage of ammunition till 31.1%. The damage of assets abridged to 28.5% in comparison with existing approaches. The proposed approach elucidates that TEWA is an efficient real-time threat perception and optimal multi-threat scheduling problem at weapons' resolution. It is a three-stage process, where the first stage perceives the threat, the second stage works on threat evaluation and the final stage focuses on weapon scheduling and assignment problem. The addition of new parameters and constraints in the new proposed model makes it a unique approach in which more accurate results, in neutralizing the threats, are obtained with less use of ammunition and damage of assets that makes TEWA more effective and efficient tool for optimum decision making in time critical situations.
