Abstract: The simulated annealing algorithm is used to optimize combat configuration of air defense missile weapon systems. By choosing Boltzmann constant adequately, and combining with a mathematical model based on stochastic serviec system theory to analyze combat effectiveness, the shortcut to solve quantiatively the problem about optimization of a weapon system's combat configuration is presented.
