Optimal Resource Allocation for a Controller with Two Resource Types

Abstract

A stationary target in a hostile environment is equipped with two types of defense resources. Attackers arrive in a finite time horizon; each with the goal of hitting the target. The success of a defensive resource in countering an attack is probabilistic. The problem of allocating the defensive resources so a to maximize the targets probability of survival is considered. combinatorial algorithms are given for determining the optimal allocation schemes under deterministic, minimax, and Bayesian formulations, when the arrival times of the attackers are known a priori. A neutral network is also applied to find the optimal allocation schemes in the deterministic formulation. For the minimax formulation, an algorithm is given for determining the optimal allocation schemes when the arrived times of the attackers are not known a priori. Keywords: Optimal control; EW resource allocation; Antiship cruise missile defense; Neural networks; C3I.
