Zusammenfassung:The weapon target assignment is a crucial issue for firepower resources optimization in modern warfare. Such a problem is complicated, multi-constrained, strongly nonlinear, NP-complete and the existing studies did not consider the suitability between different weapons and targets. In this paper, a novel weapon target assignment model is established that involves the weapon-target suitability and is closer to the real combat scenarios. Then, in view of that the conventional weapon target assignment methods are difficult to be applied in the large-scale problems efficiently, this work proposes a dynamic Gaussian mutation beetle swarm optimization algorithm with rule-based chaotic initialization. With the assistance of the dynamic parameter adjustment strategies and Gaussian mutation, the improved algorithm has fast convergence speed and high convergence accuracy, and it can solve the weapon target assignment problems with excellent optimization capabilities. Besides, the rule-based chaotic initialization strategy is embedded in this algorithm to generate high-quality population with better diversity. Finally, two comparative simulation cases of different initialization methods and algorithms for solving the large-scale weapon target assignment problems are designed. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can provide more superior assignment schemes than its competitors with enhanced efficiency. •An improved beetle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed for weapon target assignment.•The weapon-target suitability is considered in the optimization model.•The dynamical parameters and Gaussian mutation are employed to enhance the algorithm efficiency.•A new initialization strategy is presented to improve the population diversity and quality.
