Research on the Effectiveness of Tactical Missile Weapon Systems Based on Energy Big Data

Abstract The study of tactical missile weapon systems, particularly their operational efficiency, is increasingly important in modern warfare. These systems are crucial for accurately striking targets and achieving air superiority. The effectiveness evaluation of such missile systems provides a quantitative foundation for both upgrading existing weapons and setting performance benchmarks in combat exercises. This particular topic focuses on the evaluation of tactical missile weapon systems using energy big data. A comprehensive index system is utilized to conduct this evaluation, incorporating methods like fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and analytic hierarchy process. These methods enable both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the capability matrix in the ADC (Aim, Deploy, and Conclude) model. The main objective is to ensure the correctness and effectiveness of the evaluation model. An example analysis is conducted to verify the model’s validity. The results from this analysis indicate a high degree of accuracy in the model’s predictions. The disparity between the actual and expected output results is minimal, with a relative error within 4%. Furthermore, the combat effectiveness grade determined by the model aligns with the actual grade observed, confirming the model’s capability to effectively evaluate the combat effectiveness of surface-to-air missile weapon systems. This research is significant as it provides a reliable and accurate method for assessing the effectiveness of tactical missile systems. Such evaluations are vital for informed decision-making in military strategy and weapon system development. Using energy big data in this context represents a novel approach, reflecting the increasing integration of advanced data analytics in military technology assessments.

Evaluation and choice of an anti-aircraft missile system under uncertain conditions based on fuzzy-integral calculus and hierarchical cluster analysis

Evaluation and choice of anti-aircraft missile weapon systems (AAMWSs) are a relevant problem in many countries. Estimates are often reduced to one top-level criterion. This is questionable since subordinated criteria are usually difficult to compare and decision-makers excluded from the final decision. The solution to the problem should also take into account non-statistical uncertainty. We propose to use a combination of two algorithms. The first algorithm calculates the estimates of AAMWSs in the criteria hierarchy using fuzzy-integral calculus. The hierarchy relates the characteristics of the AAMWSs to the three top-level criteria. In the space of these criteria, the second algorithm based on hierarchical clustering forms a class of the best AAMWSs equivalent to each other. The decision-maker makes the final choice from the obtained class, taking into account non-formalized factors. These algorithms are tested using the example of medium-range AAMWSs.

PEMELIHARAAN SATUAN TEMBAK PELURU KENDALI STARSTREAK GUNA MENDUKUNG KESIAPAN OPERASI PERTAHANAN UDARA

The world has experienced a very rapid development of air power technology such as aircraft, missiles, drones, bringing the consequences of the emergence of an air attack threat from one country to another. Indonesia as one of the countries is likely to experience the threat of air attacks from other countries that can endanger national security and territorial sovereignty so that Indonesia needs a strong and resilient air defence. In addition to aircraft as the main element of air defence, there is a ground-to-air missile weapon system, one of which is the Starstreak missile currently owned by the Army Air Defence Artillery unit which is incorporated in the Starstreak missile firing unit in each unit. The weapon system can be operationalised if it is in good condition and ready for operation, so a good maintenance activity is needed and in accordance with procedures. The purpose of the study was to analyse the maintenance of the Starstreak missile firing unit in the Arhanud 8/MBC Battalion to support the implementation of air defence operations that are the responsibility of the unit. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach, using the IITCA theory (Integrative, Interactive, Transparency, Controlling, Accountability). Data were obtained from informants who were determined and then analysed with qualitative analysis techniques. The results showed that the implementation of maintenance of the Starstreak missile firing unit was not in accordance with the provisions or procedures so that there was still damage that occurred proving that maintenance had not been carried out optimally

Research on the Integrated Design of Missile Guidance Control Considering the Angle of Attack Constraint

The integrated guidance and control design of missile considering the attack angle constraint can effectively improve the guidance accuracy and damage effect of the missile, which has become one of the hot spots in current research. In this paper, we review the problem of integrated guidance and control design of missile considering attack angle constraint. First, the steps to construct the ensemble model are described.

Superiority-comparison-based transformation, consensus, and ranking methods for heterogeneous multi-attribute group decision-making

Heterogeneous multi-attribute group decision making (heterogeneous MAGDM) is a hot topic in complicated decision-making environment. This paper proposes a new approach for heterogeneous MAGDM problems, including three main research points. Firstly, different from the commonly used unified transformation process, the study provides a randomization method to transform heterogeneous opinions into random values, which can keep the structural features of the original data as much as possible. Secondly, the random values are integrated into superiority-probability-based pairwise comparison matrix (SPM) by combining stochastic simulation and multi-attribute decision making methods. Then, a maximization-similarity-based consensus approach is developed to obtain the collective SPM. The collective SPM can not only objectively present the superiority relationship between any two alternatives, but also balance the opinions of multiple experts. Thirdly, a new type of ranking, probabilistic rank order, is proposed, which is more consistent with the heterogeneous and uncertain characteristics of the decision-making opinions. At last, an example regarding missile weapon system selection is chosen from previous studies to illustrate the validity of the proposed methods. Another example about the predictive evaluation of city development potential is constructed to further illustrate the practical application prospects of the research methods.

Position Deployment Optimization of Maneuvering Conventional Missile Based on Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm

To reasonably allocate mobile conventional missile battle positions and improve the survivability and combat effectiveness of the missile weapon system, a missile position deployment optimization design model based on Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) is established. First, for the multilevel position network, an optimization model with the goal of maximizing the viability is established, and a two-stage solution method is proposed. Second, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is improved, and the convergence factor which changes nonlinearly with the number of evolution is introduced to coordinate the local development and global search ability of the algorithm. The diversity mutation operation is carried out on the optimal individual to reduce the probability of premature convergence of the algorithm, and the improved whale algorithm is used to solve the optimization model. Finally, the performance of the improved algorithm is verified by example analysis and simulation experiments, which provides a reference for the deployment mode of mobile missile positions.

The simulation study of damage assessment of a surface-to-air missile system attacked by an anti-radiation missile and the optimization of fuze-warhead coordination

The final damage effectiveness of warhead is the most important objective in missile system design. To obtain the damage probability of a certain anti-radiation missile warhead against a typical field surface-to-air missile system and find the optimal fuze-warhead coordination strategy, the studies of modelling, simulation and optimization are carried out. First, the vulnerability of the target is analysed and the target vulnerability model is established. Secondly, the calculation models of fragments field and over-pressure field are established to realize the calculation of encounter between warhead and target. Finally, the damage assessment model is established to calculate the damage probability of the parts and the whole system. Through Monte Carlo simulation, the single-shot damage probability of the missile is obtained when the parameters of the encounter between warhead and target are randomly selected according to a certain probability distribution. And the optimal fuze control strategies of the missile at different entrance angles are obtained through optimization calculation. If the entrance angle of the missile cannot be identified, the optimal fuze initiation strategy of the anti-radiation missile in this paper is a delay of 13ms. The results show that the research method of this paper can be applied to the missile weapon system with the function of entrance angle identification to maximize the damage efficiency.

Research on assembly accuracy of vertical launcher based on shape error

As an important part of the shipborne missile weapon system, the overall assembly accuracy of the shipborne vertical launcher will affect the initial accuracy of the test missile launch to varying degrees.

The research results show that this method can determine the contact state of the launcher assembly, and the influence of the shape error distribution of the contact surface on the precision assembly cannot be ignored.

Networking of Tracking Radars of Two Different SAM Weapons to Protect the Missile in Intensive Jamming Environment

<p class="p1">Many countries including India use the Russian made SAM-3 (Pechora) surface-to-air missile (SAM) weapon systems to protect their strategic and tactical infrastructure. The mathematical computations done in this paper, conclusively prove<span class="s1">s </span>that SA-125 low-blow tracking radar of Pechora is vulnerable to jamming. A project was undertaken to overcome the jamming vulnerability of Pechora aiming to design and develop an electronic counter counter measure system. This system networked the Pechora tracking radar with a western tracking radar, Flycatcher, developed by HSA Holland. The latter radar works in a MMW band. When jamming (x band) is employed by enemy aircraft the Low blow radar failed to provide target coordinates. But the flycatcher tracking radar which is tracking in Ka band provided the tracking coordinates (after parallax correction) to the command guidance computer. This way the missile guidance is protected until missile warhead in missile blasts near the target. Extensive trials carried out with a number of aircraft sorties proved the success of this developed system against jamming.</p>

Single and multiobjective optimization of Inconel 718 nickel-based superalloy in the wire electrical discharge machining

Inconel 718 is widely used in high-temperature environments, high-performance aircraft, and hypersonic missile weapon systems; however, it is very difficult to machine using conventional techniques. This study employed an L9 Taguchi orthogonal array for the analysis of wire electrical discharge machining parameters when used for the machining of Inconel 718. Our aim was to determine the optimal combination of parameters to minimize surface roughness while maximizing the material removal rate. The Taguchi method is widely applied in mechanical engineering with the aim of identifying the optimal combination of processing parameters as they pertain to single quality characteristics. Unfortunately, Taguchi analysis often leads to contradictory results when seeking to rectify multiple objectives. To resolve this issue, this study implemented gray relational analysis in conjunction with Taguchi method to obtain the optimal combination of parameters to deal specifically with multiple quality objectives. For the dual objectives of surface roughness and material removal rate, the optimal combination of parameters derived using gray relational analysis resulted in a mean surface roughness of 2.75 μm. In L9 orthogonal array experiments, run 1 produced the best gray relational grade with mean surface roughness of 2.80 μm, representing an improvement of 1.8%. The material removal rate achieved after the application of gray relational analysis was 0.00190 g/s, whereas the L9 experiment achieved a material removal rate of 0.00123 g/s, representing an improvement of 54.5%.

Finally, the simulation illustrates that the jamming is effective, and the results can provide suggestion on the jammer parameter design.
