Tactical or strategic planning often confronts severe uncertainties. These uncertainties arise in characterizing the situation to be confronted, in assessing the intentions and capabilities of the parties, and in understanding the dynamics of interactions, etc. Info-gap theory has been applied to some of these problems.
