Abstract

Considering the highly dynamic and multi-stage characteristics of carrier-based aircraft ammunition support operations, we establish an optimization model based on the theory of swarm intelligence optimization and the method of flexible flow-shop scheduling. Firstly, the ammunition transfer support operation problem is reduced to a flexible flow-shop scheduling problem considering the delivery time of work-pieces, and heuristic rules are introduced to construct the model of Ammunition Transport Support for Carrier-Borne Aircraft (ATSCA), which takes into account the requirements of efficiency and robustness. Secondly, combined with the practice of ammunition dispatching operation, a Greedy Local Search Genetic Algorithm with Dual-Level Coding (GLSGA-DC) is designed to solve the ATSCA model with the goal of minimizing the maximum ammunition transfer time. The simulation results show that the GLSGA-DC algorithm has obtained the optimal values in the Mean Value (AVG), Relative Deviation (RD) and other indicators in benchmark tests and multiple groups of experiments in real ammunition transfer operations, demonstrating the effectiveness and robustness of the ATSCA model and algorithm in real ammunition support operations for carrier-borne aircraft.
