The weapon target assignment is an important problem in modern air defense combat with multiobjects and fighters. The weapons units arrange is a dynamic and complex process, for saving weapons resources and attacking target effectively, the weapon target assignment model satisfies expected damage probability, the performance analysis such as target threat degree, the weapon attack priority and ...

Greyscales is a method for producing estimates of guided missile miss distance and missile warhead probability of kill. The associated computer code has been written to be portable and capable of being incorporated into a variety of simulations. The code has already been integrated into the Weapon Systems Division MECA and DUEL missile engagement simulations. It can also be integrated into larg...

In 1957, the Navy’s Special Projects Office approached APL for assistance in developing the Polaris Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Strategic Weapon System. The primary task was to define and execute a comprehensive FBM test and evaluation program to validate the integrated weapon system design. The launch of Sputnik created a widespread view that a “missile gap” existed with the Soviet Union. In...

In this article we consider two classes of static defensive resource allocation problems, these are, the static "target-value based" weapon target allocation and the static "asset-value based" weapon allocation problem. It is shown that the target-value based problem can be recast, (using indicator functions), into an instantiation of the so-called transportation problem. The transportation pro...

Is the Department of Defense (DOD) pursuing the correct investment strategy for space-based laser weapons? Recent advances in lasers, optics, and spacecraft technologies may bring high-energy laser weapons to a sufficient level of maturity for serious consideration as space weapons against the theater ballistic missile threat. However, these technological advances also make other architectures ...

Threat evaluation is a high-level information fusion problem of high importance within the military domain. This task is the foundation for weapons allocation, where assignment of blue force (own) weapon systems to red force (enemy) targets is performed. In this paper, we compare two fundamentally different approaches to threat evaluation: Bayesian networks and fuzzy inference rules. We conclud...

With the development of war, complexity missile weapon system has reached an unprecedented height, and traditional document-based design method can no longer meet overall requirements missile. At present, best practice strategy in field systems engineering is idea model-based engineering, which its unique advantages dealing with complex problems. It be used to improve efficiency missiles enhanc...

For the uncertain factors in fire allocation process of air and missile defense problem, uncertainty theory is used to deal with an multi-objective dynamic weapon target assignment model proposed. In order above model, a evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition proposed, which adds displacement mechanism firefly uniformly randomly adaptive weights mechanism. Then, simulation results show t...

The weapon target allocation (WTA) problem is a crucial issue in anti-missile command decisions. However, the current models ignore dynamic complexity, cooperation, and uncertainty actual combat process, which results misclassification omission of targets. Therefore, we propose bi-level model based on rolling horizon optimization marginal benefit reprogramming to achieve rapid impact static unc...
