Abstract:

It is difficult to schedule the antisubmarine helicopters for regional antisubmarine in the study of underwater network centric warfare. In order to maximize the coverage of alert zone with the limited number of helicopters, a 2-stage scheduling schema of antisubmarine helicopter is proposed. Firstly, the alert zone is divided into a number of grids and the alarm rate and response time of each grid are estimated using historical data and experience. Hence, a hypercube queuing model and iterative algorithm are proposed with the alarm rate as arrival rate and expected response time as mean service time. Secondly, the output of the queue model such as correction factors and busy probabilities are adopted as the input of a antisubmarine programming model designed for antisubmarine decision, and an approximate algorithm is proposed to compute the deployment and assignment policies of antisubmarine helicopters. Finally, the simulation experiment verifies the validity of the scheduling method.

Key words: alert sea zone, regional antisubmarine, antisubmarine helicopter, optimal scheduling, queue theory
