The Weapon Target Assignment Problem: Rational Inference of Adversary Target Utility Valuations from Observed Solutions

•Infers adversary’s relative target value hierarchy for observed targeting solution•Identifies a convex polytope as sufficient to characterize all such hierarchies•Defines a polytope of interest based on weak dominance criteria•Develops and empirically compares alternative math programming-based and mesh-sampling heuristics•Characterizes the solution methods’ practical tractability and generalizability
