“…29 A closed-loop WTA process is not only NP-Complete but also it is discrete, dynamic, non-linear, stochastic, and of a large scale in terms of increased number of WS and targets 30 and it is difficult to solve it optimally when the number of threats and weapons is large, as computation time of the solution increases rapidly with the size of problem. 31 An asset-based Dynamic Weapon Target Assignment (DWTA) problem is formulated and a rule-based heuristic to solve it is proposed by Xin et al 32 Despite its study to decrease the computational time, the problem was still treated in exponential complexity. 33 A non-linear goal programming solution is developed by Hocaoğlu.…”

Threat evaluation is a vital process for any defense system, and it consists of a series of calculation and evaluation based on the inferred capabilities and intents of the targets that aim to give damage to defended assets. Target evaluation is proceeded in a wargame and the aim is to compare weapon target pairs according to a set of criteria. The target evaluation cycle is repeated anytime a new detection is received and when any change happens in the target currently detected. The whole process consists of a set of tasks that are shared between Command and Control units and the tasks require different responsibilities. Each task is succeeded by a specific behavior that is represented as a reasonably ordered set of actions. The task sharing is organized by taking the C2 architectures into account. In this paper, an agent-based command and control entity, which is in charge of target evaluation and giving engagement decision, is designed and it is situated in an air defense simulation environment. The study aims to propose an agent design in military decision-making domain, bringing analytic methods with the first-order logic together, and combine aspect orientation with agent design. The study also improves dynamic aspect management in agent programming using the relation concept.

“…Unlike other applications, they observed chaotic behavior of LP-based solutions in dynamic-systems not observed in stable solutions, noting that changes may not be desirable when "adopting a plan already under execution" (Hill et al, 2003). More recently, Naeem and Masood (2010) of the Pakistani Military College of Signals explored the use of the SMA to model detected threats and assign to them a probable target among a set of defended assets. This model enabled a larger threat evaluation and weapon assignment process by quickly providing a robust estimate of likely threat behavior.…”

Purpose This study aims to compare linear programming and stable marriage approaches to the personnel assignment problem under conditions of uncertainty. Robust solutions should exhibit reduced variability of solutions in the presence of one or more additional constraints or problem perturbations added to some baseline problems. Design/methodology/approach Several variations of each approach are compared with respect to solution speed, solution quality as measured by officer-to-assignment preferences and solution robustness as measured by the number of assignment changes required after inducing a set of representative perturbations or constraints to an assignment instance. These side constraints represent the realistic assignment categorical priorities and limitations encountered by army assignment managers who solve this problem semiannually, and thus the synthetic instances considered herein emulate typical problem instances. Findings The results provide insight regarding the trade-offs between traditional optimization and heuristic-based solution approaches. Originality/value The results indicate the viability of using the stable marriage algorithm for talent management via the talent marketplace currently used by both the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force for personnel assignments.
