Threat assessment of a possible Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device using DSmT
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the solution about the threat of a VBIED (Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device) obtained with the DSmT (Dezert-Smarandache Theory). This problem has been proposed recently to the authors by Simon Maskell and John Lavery as a typical illustrative example to try to compare the different approaches for dealing with uncertainty for decisionmaking support. The purpose of this paper is to show in details how a solid justified solution can be obtained from DSmT approach and its fusion rules thanks to a proper modeling of the belief functions involved in this problem.

متن کاملCounter-IED Strategy in Modern War
symbols of asymmetric warfare and modern military conflict, very little has changed in the realm of counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) strategy. The military is always searching for better vehicles and equipment to defeat what is, at its core, a homemade device made for a fraction of the cost of our technological countermeasures. As a result, C-IED strategy has primarily focused on dev...
متن کاملSurveillance and Interdiction Models: a Game-theoretic Approach to Defend against Vbieds
This thesis develops a model for surveillance and interdiction operations by combining a tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to detect a threat with a ground force to interdict that threat. The scenario models the defense of a fixed facility such as a Forward Operating Base against an enemy attack in the form of a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED). UAVs are increasingly more ...
متن کاملIn-vehicle extremity injuries from improvised explosive devices: current and future foci.
The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have been epitomized by the insurgents' use of the improvised explosive device against vehicle-borne security forces. These weapons, capable of causing multiple severely injured casualties in a single incident, pose the most prevalent single threat to Coalition troops operating in the region. Improvements in personal protection and medical care have resulte...
متن کاملLessons for the Future of Counter IED (C-IED) Operations
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) remain one of the most significant threats to conventional military forces. In spite of pioneering work by organisations such as the US Department of Defence’s Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organisation, the operational response has often been uncoordinated and incoherent. Some nations have successfully procured more resilient vehicles to protect t...
