There's other more complicated things too that I take from operations research and are useful for planning and scenario design. Probability of detection versus time is a good one. I put in a couple of search tactics that I use a lot, and it gives me an idea of about about how long things should go on average. You can get these kinds of things out of Wagner's Naval Operations Analysis, or Koopman's Search and Screening.

So I checked Amazon. "Search and Screening" is available used for the hefty price of $288.00 US. Naval Operations Analysis is available around $35.00 US.

So I guess I know which one I will petition the Domestic Appropriations Committee Chairwoman for
