RCS特性辅助的CMIMO雷达功率资源分配方法

针对集中式多输入多输出(collocated multiple-input multiple-output, CMIMO)雷达在实际探测过程中,未有效结合目标雷达散射截面(radar cross section, RCS)高动态变化特性导致雷达跟踪精度不高甚至失跟的问题,提出一种基于目标RCS高动态特性的CMIMO雷达功率资源自适应分配方法。考虑到目标RCS特征的角度敏感性,利用目标运动状态的可预测性动态获取实际观测角度,从而完成跟踪帧的极化方式优选;在此基础上构建包含功率与RCS的多目标跟踪误差后验克拉美罗下界,将其作为目标函数进行优化,利用内点惩罚法求解该凸优化问题即可实现RCS高动态情况下的功率优化分配。实验结果表明:该方法可结合目标不同方向RCS动态分集特性实现功率的有效分配,相比于传统RCS模型分配方案,有效解决了分配方案与实际跟踪场景之间的失配问题,从而提升了CMIMO雷达的多目标跟踪性能。     

无人机飞行训练资源配置效率的AHP-Arena综合评价方法

为降低传统层次分析法(analytic hierarchy process,AHP)赋权过程主观片面性影响,提出了一种综合AHP与Arena仿真建模技术的无人机训练资源配置效率评价方法。基于飞行训练流程分析,确定了训练资源配置效率影响因素和效率评价指标,建立了层次型综合评价体系,概括了AHP-Arena综合评价步骤。利用Arena建模软件构建训练流程动态仿真系统并验证有效性,采用单变量数值仿真法、均方差决策法完成了影响因素客观赋权,通过线性加权综合法得出综合评价系数,实现资源配置效率评价与方案优选。实例应用说明了该方法的有效性,同时,该方法可推广至其他类似的训练过程中,亦可为其他多因素、多指标评价决策过程提供借鉴。     

An efficient metaheuristic for integrated scheduling and staffing IT projects based on a generalized minimum cost flow network

Scheduling IT projects and assigning the project work to human resources are an important and common tasks in almost any IT service company. It is particularly complex because human resources usually have multiple skills. Up to now only little work has considered IT‐specific properties of the project structure and human resources. In this article, we present an optimization model that simultaneously schedules the activities of multiple IT projects with serial network structures and assigns the project work to multiskilled internal and external human resources with different efficiencies. The goal is to minimize costs. We introduce a metaheuristic that decomposes the problem into a binary scheduling problem and a continuous staffing problem where the latter is solved efficiently by exploiting its underlying network structure. For comparison, we solve the mixed–binary linear program with a state–of–the–art commercial solver. The impacts of problem parameters on computation time and solution gaps between the metaheuristic and the solver are assessed in an experimental study. Our results show that the metaheuristic provides very favorable results in considerable less time than the solver for midsize problems. For larger problems, it shows a similar performance while the solver fails to return feasible solutions. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 59: 111–127, 2012
