Abstract:

To satisfy the demand for the real-time and dynamic integrated logistic support of the carrier aircraft under the uncertain combat task, a multiagentbased model for dynamic support of the carrier aircraft is proposed. The basic operational support and maintenance support processes of the carrier craft on ship are systematically analyzed, and their dynamic scheduling characteristics under limited resources are discussed. A three-layer mixed control structure is established to ensure the adequate convergence velocity and flexibility of the model. A global-local interactive negotiation mechanism based on contract net protocol (CNP) is developed considering cooperative game characteristics among agents and the system disturbance such as fault. It can improve negotiation efficiency among agents and eliminate the effect of re-scheduling of the carrier aircraft. The principle for individual agent abstraction is given and an open internal structure of agent is defined later. Further, a scheduling algorithm for carrier aircraft dynamic support under limited resources is researched in detail. Finally, the method is manifested by simulation of typical task of the carrier aircraft with an objective to maximize sortie in unit time ,which is an operational readiness parameter of the carrier aircraft.
