Dynamic optimization of the strength ratio during a terrestrial conflict

The aim of this study is to assist a military decision maker during his decision-making process when applying tactics on the battlefield. For that, we have decided to model the conflict by a game, on which we will seek to find strategies guaranteeing to achieve given goals simultaneously defined in terms of attrition and tracking. The model relies multi-valued graphs, and leads us to solve a stochastic shortest path problem. The employed techniques refer to temporal differences methods but also use a heuristic qualification of system states to face algorithmic complexity issues
