Title: Analysis of the use of decoys in defense against a massed attack

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6358919

Computer simulation of combat is used to compare outcomes of massed and nonmassed red attacks on blue defenses which varied in firepower and in number of decoys. The comparisons indicate employment of decoys can offset much of the advantage an attack gains from massing. Recommendations are made for three further studies.
