Tensor-Centric Warfare III: Combat Dynamics with Delta-Strikes

Abstract

This paper is the third part of the complex combat dynamics series, called tensor-centric warfare (for the first two parts, see [1] [2]). In the present paper, we extend the tensor combat model from [1] and [2] to model the dynamics of delta-strikes/missiles , which are temporally confined strong kinetic effects . The scenarios analyzed here include both deterministic and random delta-strikes which mimic single, multiple and continuous-time missile attacks. We also look at the bidirectional random strike as well as the general Hamilton-Langevin dynamics framework and provide an interpretation of the results obtained through simulation.
