Aircraft positioned at specified locations are subject to an attack from sealaunched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). This report presents a technique for the determination of the number of alert aircraft that can be destroyed by the first missile arriving on each base. The assignment problem, a special case of the linear programming transportation problem, is applied to arrive at the optimal allocation of missiles to targets. Aircraft losses are determined using a step distribution function for overpressure and thermal nuclear hardness levels which are input for each aircraft type being considered. A FORTRAN computer program which performs the calculations is presented.
