Abstract

This paper constructed a collaborative combat effectiveness evaluation system with considering the characteristics and limitations of the vehicles. Firstly, multiple hypersonic vehicles formation problem is converted to an optimization problem based on the collaborative combat effectiveness evaluation system. Secondly, the relative distance and angles between vehicle and a certain reference point is selected as the formation parameters, which are chosen as optimization variables in the optimization algorithm. Thirdly, the efficiency function corresponding to each evaluation indicator is given under the constraints of the vehicle and the PSACO (particle swarm ant colony optimization) algorithm is used to solving this optimization problem. In particular, the scenario of detection and the scenario of penetration are designed respectively considering different combat requirements. Finally, it can be verified that multiple hypersonic vehicles can achieve cooperative optimal formation in two combat scenarios through the effectiveness evaluation system and the PSACO algorithm according to simulation examples.
