Abstract
In this study, a mathematical model is suggested concerning the location of VHF/UHF frequency radio jammer systems to the terrain parts to conduct single frequency or sequential frequency jamming, and then a decision support system (DSS), based on the suggested model, is formed. Location problem is modelled by the maximum covering location problem and LINGO-8 package program is used to solve the model. Interaction with the user is provided via the MS-Excel program in the DSS. In the application part of the study, a scenario was set up and the model was run for the two cases, weighted and equally weighted situations of the targets. With the same scenario, backup positions for the jammer systems were tried to be determined and solutions for the scenario were evaluated.
