Abstract

Aiming at the shortcomings of single objective optimization for solving weapon target assignment (WTA) and the existing multiobjective optimization based WTA method having problems being applied in air and missile defense combat under uncertainty, a fuzzy multiobjective programming based WTA method was proposed to enhance the adaptability of WTA decision to the changes of battlefield situation. Firstly, a multiobjective quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization with double/single-well (MOQPSO-D/S) algorithm was proposed by adopting the double/single-well based position update method, the hybrid random mutation method, and the two-stage based guider particles selection method. Secondly, a fuzzy multiobjective programming WTA model was constructed with consideration of air and missile defense combat’s characteristics. And, the uncertain WTA model was equivalently clarified based on the necessity degree principle of uncertainty theory. Thirdly, with particles encoding and illegal particles adjusting, the MOQPSO-D/S algorithm was adopted to solve the fuzzy multiobjective programming based WTA model. Finally, example simulation was conducted, and the result shows that the WTA model constructed is rational and MOQPSO-D/S algorithm is efficient.

Highlights

  • In information warfare, air attack is a highly integrated operation form

  • In order to improve the performance of multiobjective quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization algorithm (MOQPSO) algorithm to solve the multiobjective programming problem, a multiobjective quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization with double/single-well (MOQPSO-D/S) algorithm was proposed by combining the Quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm and the QPSO with double-well algorithm

  • When operating one iteration, the complexity of MOQPSO-D/S for solving the multiobjective problem equals O(o ×2), which equals the complexity of MOQPSO-CD [17] and is acceptable

Summary

Introduction

Air attack is a highly integrated operation form. Defenders need to carry out the task of antiaerodynamic targets and antiballistic missiles simultaneously [1]. WTA has been studied with application of Lagrange relaxation algorithm [2], ant colony algorithm [3], genetic algorithm [4], clone selection algorithm [5], and particle swarm optimization algorithm [6] Most of these researches construct WTA model based on single objective optimization with the objective function of maximizing the kill probability to enemy. The adaptability of WTA decision, based on this method, to the changes of battlefield situation is still weak Because this method is still a single objective optimization method, when conducting this method, the decision-making preferences need to be provided beforehand and only one WTA alternative can be given. Due to the superior performance of quantumbehaved particle swarm optimization algorithm, a multiobjective quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization with double/single-well algorithm is proposed for solving the WTA model
