Weapon scheduling in naval combat systems for maximization of defense capabilities

Authors

Abstract:

Air defense is a crucial area for all naval combat systems. In this study, we consider a warship equipped with an air-defense weapon that targets incoming threats using surface-to-air missiles. We define the weapon scheduling problem as the optimal scheduling of a set of surface-to-air missiles of a warship to a set of attacking air threats. The optimal scheduling of the weapon results in an increase in the probability of successful targeting of all incoming threats. We develop a heuristic method to obtain a very fast and acceptable solution for the problem. In addition, a branch and bound algorithm is developed to find the optimal solution. In order to increase the efficiency of this algorithm, a lower bound, an upper bound and a set of dominance rules have been developed. Using randomly generated test problems, the performance of the proposed solution approaches is analyzed. The results indicate that in all practical situations, the branch-and-bound algorithm is able to solve the problem optimally in less than a second.

Grid-Based Resource Management of Naval Weapon Systems

The continuous transformation of the Chinese navy into an integrated and network-centric capability requires a cooperative and distributed weapon resource management system. As one of the steps into naval information grid our objective is to develop generalized principles for grid computing that can be applied to this specific domain. To address this problem, we adopt the OGSA (Open Grid Servic...

Ocean Nowcast/Forecast Systems for Improvement of Naval Undersea Capabilities

The U.S. Navy is a major investor in ocean model development. The pay-off of such an investment is the value-added ocean nowcast/forecast systems on naval operations and warfare effectiveness. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the value added of the Navy’s nowcast/forecast system to naval antisubmarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASUW). The nowcast/forecast versus observat...

Secure Middleware for Situation-Aware Naval C2 and Combat Systems

There is an increasing need within the Navy and Marine Corps for building distributed situation-aware applications that are rapidly recon gurable and survivable in the face of attacks and changing mission needs. For the Navy's vision of Network Centric Warfare and the Total Ship Computing Environment to succeed, there is an urgent need for a secure, robust, and survivable network infrastructure...
