Advanced Algorithm for Optimal Sensor-Target and Weapon-Target Pairings in Dynamic Collaborative Engagement

Abstract

In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for assigning sensors and weapons to targets in the dynamic environment, where sensors, weapons, and targets are allowed to move freely (but predictably) over a certain region of a battlefield. In addition, we determine when such an assignment should be executed. This new algorithm for Sensors/Weapons And Targets pairings is named SWAT. In SWAT the optimization component Swt_opt is derived from the well-known auction algorithm and produces an optimal solution.
