SWARD: System for weapon allocation research & development
نویسندگان
چکیده
The allocation of firing units to hostile targets is an important process within the air defense domain. Many algorithms have been proposed for solving various weapon allocation problems, but evaluation of the performance of such algorithms is problematic, since it does not exist any standard scenarios on which to test the algorithms. It is to a large extent unknown how weapon allocation algorithms compare to each other when it comes to solution quality. We have developed the testbed SWARD, making it possible to systematically compare algorithm performance, and to support the development of new weapon allocation algorithms.

A Suite of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Static Weapon-Target Allocation
The problem of allocating defensive weapon resources to hostile targets is an optimization problem of high military relevance. The need for obtaining the solutions in real-time is often overlooked in existing literature. Moreover, there does not exist much research aimed at comparing the performance of different algorithms for weapon-target allocation. We have implemented a suite of metaheurist...
متن کاملSward Factors Influence on Pasture Dry Matter Intake of Grazing Dairy Cows: A Review
Successful pasture-based milk production systems pivot on balancing dairy cows’ feed requirements with seasonal and annual fluctuations in pasture production. In order to maximise cow production from grazing dairy systems, it is necessary to reach an efficient utilization of grazed grass for feeding cows and the development of appropriate grazing management systems designed to maximize daily pa...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of TEWA Systems
It is in military engagements the task of the air defense to protect valuable assets such as air bases from being destroyed by hostile aircrafts and missiles. In order to fulfill this mission, the defenders are equipped with sensors and firing units. To infer whether a target is hostile and threatening or not is far from a trivial task. This is dealt with in a threat evaluation process, in whic...
متن کاملPredication and Optimization of Maintenance Resources for Weapon System
Maintenance resources are important part of the maintenance support system. The whole efficiency of weapon system is directly affected by the allocation of maintenance resources. Joint support for weapon system of multi-kinds of equipments is the main fashion of maintenance support in the future. However, there is a lack of the efficiency tools and methods for predication and optimization of we...
متن کاملA different kind of weapon focus: simulated training with ballistic weapons reduces change blindness
Attentional allocation is flexibly altered by action-related priorities. Given that tools - and specifically weapons - can affect attentional allocation, we asked whether training with a weapon or holding a weapon during search would affect change detection. In three experiments, participants searched for changes to agents, shootable objects, or environments in the popular flicker paradigm. Par...
