Abstract:

Multi-missile cooperative penetration is becoming more and more important in airborne beyondvisual-range sea combat. Based on the traditional ant colony （AC） algorithms, an improved semi-restraint stochastic ant colony system (SSACS) algorithm is presented by stochastic-starting searching method and semi-restrictive updating pheromone via incorporating an ant system, which can be applied to the airborne weapon’s combat decision. According to fleet tactical values and dynamic confrontation threat, a fleet defensive threat model is proposed. Finally, the SSACS algorithms and the basic ant colony system algorithms are compared with each other, and results prove that the SSACS algorithms perform better than AC in assignment of air-to-ship missile cooperative penetration.
