<p>This thesis develops an analytical model that describes defense for the Sea Base. Although models have   been developed for defense of a carrier battle group (CVBG) with one High Value Unit (HVU) against air, surface   and subsurface attacks, there are unique aspects of the Sea Base that are not specifically addressed in CVBG   defense models. First, the defense of the sea base is different in that there are multiple HVUs (Expeditionary   Warships - EXWAR Ships) expected in the Sea Base. In addition, there is a credible threat of being overwhelmed   by High Density Threats (HDTs). This model specifically addresses the issue of defending multiple HVUs against   HDTs.   The model also gives a commander insight into the optimal placement of defenders with respect to   parameters such as threat sector, minimum detection range, attacker and defender velocity, and defender weapon   ranges. The model can also be used for Operational Requirements (ORs) development by Sea Base system   designers. By inputting parameters associated with certain scenarios, system developers can see how performance   of a specific parameter, such as weapons range, probability of kill, and radar detection range, can affect the quality   of Sea Base defense with respect to the effective area of defender coverage and the number of defenders required   to achieve a certain level of protection.
