Immune Genetic Algorithm for Weapon-Target Assignment Problem

An Immune Genetic Algorithm (IGA) is used to solve weapon-target assignment problem (WTA). The used immune system serves as a local search mechanism for genetic algorithm. Besides, in our implementation, a new crossover operator is proposed to preserve good information contained in the chromosome. A comparison of the proposed algorithm with several existing search approaches shows that the IGA outperforms its competitors on all tested WTA problems.
