A Discrete Beetle Swarm Optimization Algorithm-based method for Multi-Targets Assignment for Multi-missiles Coordinated Attack

Due to the nonlinearity and difficulty in the process of the cooperative target assignment, a discrete beetle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the target assignment model is established based on the damage probability and target value of missile attacking target. Secondly, according to the constraint characteristics of the model, a particle integer coding method is proposed to reduce the complexity of the problem. Then, the discrete beetle swarm optimization algorithm is designed and used to solve the problem, which is an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm by introducing beetle antennae search algorithm. The simulation results show that the algorithm combines the advantages of particle swarm optimization algorithm and beetle antennae search algorithm, and has fast convergence speed and is not easy to fall into local optimum. Compared with other algorithms, the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified.
