[0026] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] The application provides a firepower distribution method containing target grouping and reinforcement learning, establishes a target grouping strategy based on damage range, and further considers the collateral damage of an aircraft to a target; target damage effect evaluation based on a sighting point optimization is carried out in the target group, so that the accuracy and rationality of damage effect calculation are improved; finally, a deep reinforcement learning model of firepower distribution is established, which maximizes the damage cost ratio while ensuring the expected damage effect on the target, and the specific implementation steps of the method are as follows:

[0028] Step one, considering the target grouping of collateral damage.

[0029] In order to ensure the full use of firepower resources, the collateral damage of an aircraft to the allocated target and the collateral damage of the aircraft to the adjacent target of the allocated target are considered, and a target grouping method considering collateral damage is constructed based on the power field and damage range of the aircraft. In order to ensure the rationality of grouping, the maximum damage radius of the aircraft is used as the grouping distance threshold, and the DSCAN clustering method based on relative distance is used to realize the rapid grouping of multiple targets, and form the basic unit of firepower distribution-target group.

[0030] Step two, for each target group, a sighting point planning and damage effect evaluation model is established.

[0031] In order to accurately evaluate the pros and cons of firepower distribution results, break through the limitation of traditional rough estimation value with poor accuracy, a sighting point planning and damage effect evaluation model is established for each target group.

[0032] The sighting point planning model refers to planning the optimal sighting point of each aircraft for the single-target group of the basic unit of firepower distribution under the premise of specified aircraft launch platform, aircraft type and quantity, target type and quantity, and realizing the maximum damage to the target. The damage effect evaluation model refers to calculating the aircraft-target intersection condition under the specified sighting point, quickly evaluating the target damage, and serving as the judgment basis for the pros and cons of the target allocation result. The sighting point planning method here can be quickly solved by using traditional heuristic algorithm or integer programming algorithm, and the damage effect evaluation can be realized by using traditional method, such as looking up the damage database table in advance, or using experience formula, proxy model or precise finite element calculation.

[0033] Step three, a deep reinforcement learning model of firepower distribution is established.

[0034] The platform position of each aircraft, the type of carried aircraft, the number of carried aircraft, the target grouping situation, the type and position of each group target are used as the input of the model, and the firepower distribution result is used as the output of the model, and the overall architecture of firepower distribution is as shown in Figure 1

[0035] Based on the input of the model, the state space S={W,T} of deep reinforcement learning is constructed, wherein​

[0036] W = {w1,...,w} j ,…,w m} represents the status information of all m available aircraft platforms.

[0037] For the status information of aircraft platform j, lon w lat w and H w These represent the longitude, latitude, and altitude of the aircraft platform, respectively, and type. w i and n w i These represent the type and number of the i-th type of aircraft in the aircraft platform. The cost of the i-th type of aircraft; T = {t1,...,t} j ,…,t q} represents the state information of all q groups of targets. Let lon be the state information of the j-th target group. t lat t and These represent the target's longitude, latitude, and altitude, respectively, and type. t i V represents the type of target i within this group. i t For the value of target i, P i * Let be the expected damage probability of target i.

[0038] Based on the model's output, construct the action space A = [a1,...,a2] for deep reinforcement learning. m ,...,a q ],in This represents the firepower allocation result for the m-th target group. For the wth i Each aircraft platform uses n i type i Type m aircraft strikes the m-th group of targets.

[0039] Since the input and output of the model are both data of variable length, a deep neural network model is designed using Transformer. Encoder and Decoder modules based on Transformer are constructed. The Encoder module encodes the variable-length state space into a fixed-size embedded feature map, and the Decoder module decodes the embedded feature map into an action space of a specified size. Combined with the Actor-Critic architecture, a deep neural network model is constructed.

[0040] To more accurately reflect the pros and cons of the fire distribution result, the reward function is designed in combination with the aiming point optimization and damage effect evaluation. For a group of fire distribution schemes The aiming point optimization and damage effect evaluation are performed for each group of targets, and the group of targets t m The damage probability P of each target t in the group t The reward function R is designed as follows:

[0041] R = λ1R1 + λ2R2

[0042] R1 = sum(P t ≥ P t * )

[0043]

[0044] Wherein, λ1 and λ2 are reward weights; N T is the total number of all targets; N W is the total number of all aircraft in the fire distribution result; R1 is a damage target satisfaction reward function, which aims to consider whether the fire distribution result can meet the expected damage probability of each target; R2 is a fire distribution result cost-effectiveness reward function, which aims to consider the cost-effectiveness (i.e. the ratio of the income and the cost) of the fire distribution result. By reasonably adjusting the weights of the reward functions, the deep reinforcement learning model can be guided to make the optimal fire distribution decision.

[0045] Step four, training and use of the deep reinforcement learning model.

[0046] After the deep reinforcement learning model is constructed, the deep reinforcement learning model is iterated and updated through continuous offline training and exercise data feedback, so as to ensure the rationality and reliability of the fire distribution result.
