Game theory has been proven as a very effective tool in modelling the decision-making processes of intelligent agents, entities, and players. It has been used to model scenarios from diverse fields such as economics, evolutionary biology, and computer science. In defence applications, there is often a need to model and predict the actions of hostile actors, and players who try to evade or out-smart each other. Modelling how the actions of competitive players shape the decision making of each other is the forte of game theory. In past decades, there have been several studies that applied different branches of game theory to model a range of defence-related scenarios. This paper provides a structured review of such attempts, and classifies existing literature in terms of the kind of warfare modelled, the types of games used, and the players involved. After careful selection, a total of 29 directly relevant papers are discussed and classified. In terms of the warfares modelled, we recognise that most papers that apply game theory in defence settings are concerned with Command and Control Warfare, and can be further classified into papers dealing with (i) Resource Allocation Warfare (ii) Information Warfare (iii) Weapons Control Warfare, and (iv) Adversary Monitoring Warfare. We also observe that most of the reviewed papers are concerned with sensing, tracking, and large sensor networks, and the studied problems have parallels in sensor network analysis in the civilian domain. In terms of the games used, we classify the reviewed papers into papers that use non-cooperative or cooperative games, simultaneous or sequential games, discrete or continuous games, and non-zero-sum or zero-sum games. Similarly, papers are also classified into two-player, three-player or multi-player game based papers. We also explore the nature of players and the construction of payoff functions in each scenario. Finally, we also identify gaps in literature where game theory could be fruitfully applied in scenarios hitherto unexplored using game theory. The presented analysis provides a concise summary of the state-of-the-art with regards to the use of game theory in defence applications and highlights the benefits and limitations of game theory in the considered scenarios.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22031032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,29]],"date-time":"2022-01-29T01:43:27Z","timestamp":1643420607000},"page":"1032","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["Game Theory in Defence Applications: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Edwin","family":"Ho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arvind","family":"Rajagopalan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Weapons and Combat Systems Division, Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group, Adelaide, SA 5111, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alex","family":"Skvortsov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maritime Division, Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group, Adelaide, SA 5111, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sanjeev","family":"Arulampalam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maritime Division, Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group, Adelaide, SA 5111, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6550-5358","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahendra","family":"Piraveenan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Piraveenan, M.
