Abstract:

The key to improving the takeoff efficiency of carrier-based aircraft is to develop an efficient deck support operation scheduling plan for carrier aircraft. To improve the aircraft group support ability, the aircraft carrier deck support operation scheduling algorithm is studied. Firstly, according to the task requirements and various constraints of the carrier-based aircraft deck support scheduling problem, a constraint satisfaction model is established to minimize the completion time of cluster support, and the computational complexity analysis of the scheduling problem shows that it is an NP-hard problem. The algorithm draws on the exploration and exploitation balance mechanism of Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), combines heuristic simulation strategy and scheduling scheme generation method to evaluate the search path, and uses the MCTS to record the evaluation results to guide the subsequent search direction. Finally, to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, a random activity network generator is used to construct test cases and conduct simulation experiments. The simulation results show that compared with the current advanced algorithms, the proposed algorithm improves the solution quality and efficiency.
