Aimed at the disadvantages of constrained processing technology in the cooperative target allocation of multiple unmanned combat aircraft (UCAV), the energy-reserved chemical reaction algorithm (CNCRO) is proposed to solve the constrained optimization problems. On the one hand, convert multiple constraint conditions of the multi-UCAV target allocation into optimization targets to transform the constrained processing problem into a multiobjective optimization problem including allocation goals and constrained optimization goals. On the other hand, the energy-reserved chemical reaction algorithm (CNCRO) is proposed, which introduces the environmental energy-reserved variables

into the ineffective collision, combination or splitting reactions between single molecule and multimolecules of CNCRO, which is used to boost energy for the low kinetic energy molecules, so as to reduce its kinetic energy in case of invalid collision of molecules and control it to gradually stabilize and converge. At the same time, the splitting reaction is inspired, to greatly change the structure of molecules, promote its search for more solution space, and improve the splitting reaction ability and its global optimization ability. Finally, the simulation experiment is completed by using MATLAB software. The advantages of CNCRO in accuracy are verified by 8 standard test functions, the influence of the weight coefficients in the cooperative target allocation function of UCAV is studied, which are revenue, loss, and voyage, and the target allocation schemes of traditional constrained processing and unconstrained multiobjective optimization methods based on different attack target number
