There is a growing interest in the physics community in questions related to strategic nuclear force survivability. Markov processes represent a powerful method for quantifying such questions. In this paper the authors give an elementary introduction to Markov processes and chains followed by a simple anti-submarine warfare example in which the scenario of a surveillance-surge attack is treated as a steady state Markov process.
