Research on the Task Allocation Problem in Multi-Platform Cooperative Engagement

The task allocation in Multi-Platform Cooperative Engagement is the key point of a cooperative task management system which is different from traditional task assignment. Each combat mission needs a series of task execution cells to implement, and distributed tasks usually aim at different targets with no repeating and conflicting. First of all, analyze the actual allocation restrictions, and consider the task priorities combined with multi-target attributes to establish the task assignment mathematic model. Then we adopt an improved simulated annealing algorithm to solve this problem. The result of simulation indicates that the model of task allocation is practical under the multi-target attack condition, and this algorithm is feasible and effective compared with basic simulated annealing algorithm.
