Abstract
In this paper, a novel genetic algorithm, including domain specific knowledge into the crossover operator and the local search mechanism for solving weapon‐target assignment (WTA) problems is proposed. The WTA problem is a full assignment of weapons to hostile targets with the objective of minimizing the expected damage value to own‐force assets. It is an NP‐complete problem. In our study, a greedy reformation and a new crossover operator are proposed to improve the search efficiency. The proposed algorithm outperforms its competitors on all test problems.
