| Abstract: | The problem of defining the extent to which a proposed military force will achieve operational objectives is discussed in the context of the exercise of sea power in distant waters. It is shown that a model of the whole problem would require a feedback analysis, for which an appropriate approach would be system dynamics. Two models described in the paper have successfully represented the behaviour of integer submarines over the long-term construction and refit and over the medium-term operational cycles. These simple models could provide a framework for a broader policy model to embrace the wider issues. |
