Abstract:

Distributed guide weapon assignment (DGWA) is one of the cutting-edge problems in networked air defense missile systems (NADMS) research, aiming to allocate the most suitable guides to the weapons which are separately deployed, so as to maximize the effectiveness of NADMS. With description and analysis of DGWA in NADMS, a conditional contract net protocol based DGWA algorithm is proposed. Based on analysis of DGWA performing conditions, the framework of the algorithm is designed systemically. A stages announcement mechanism for auctioneers is presented, as well as an adaptive scheduling based bidding mechanism for bidders. The processes of DGWA in different performing conditions are simulated and analyzed through a typical scenario. Experimental results show that the algorithm is effective in NADMS.
