ACGA Algorithm of Solving Weapon - Target Assignment Problem

Abstract

Weapon Target Assignment is not only an important issue to use firepower, but also an important operational decision-making problem. As new intelligent algorithms, Genetic algorithm and ant colony algorithm are applied to solve Weapons-Target Assignment Problem. This paper introduces the Weapon-Target Assignment (WTA) and the mathematical model, and proposes ACGA algorithm which is the integration of genetic algorithm and ant colony algorithm then use ACGA algorithm to solve the Weapon-Target Assignment Problem. Calculations show that: when ACGA algorithm is used to solve Weapon – Target Assignment Problem, it has fast convergence and high accuracy.
