This thesis presents a ballistic missile defense allocation model for the terminal defense of urban targets of varied value. The model allocates interceptors in proportion to the value of targets. Defensive missiles have a probability of interception, offensive re-entry vehicles are perfect, and the offense knows both the defensive allocation and firing doctrine. The area defended by a single interceptor farm is considered to be a point target and can be defended by no other interceptors. For any value of the offensive payoff in expected value per re-entry vehicle, the model determines the least cost minimax allocation and firing doctrine. (Author)
