...... Of course, enemy ground vehicle operators will likely fail to cooperate with the interdiction team and will seek to avoid detection at all costs in order to fulfill their launch missions. In this regard, Castonon and his colleagues add that, In order to increase the chance of successful attack, the ground vehicle may use diversionary tactics, such as sending decoy vehicles to force the aircraft to move away and examine the decoys, thus opening a safe launch window for the missile vehicle (p. 3364). These researchers conceptualize the respective combatants strategic decisions concerning when to use a decoy versus a missile vehicle, and when the aircraft should leave its patrol station and when to pursue a vehicle by using a two-person zero-sum Markov game framework. According to Edling (2002), The main tool for describing stochastic processes is the stationary Markov process, of which the Poison process and Brownian motion are variants (differential equations are used in constructing stochastic models as well as to model change in probability distributions) (p. 197). The use of game theory for such military applications is certainly not new, but dates back to at least World War II and thereafter when concepts of zero-sum two-person
