Abstract

Sensor-target and weapon-target pairings are important activities involved in planning and executing a course-of-action in a modern warfare. The outcome of today's combat operations may strongly depend on the intelligent usage of available sensors and weapons maximizing their effectiveness. The problem can be considered as an assignment optimization problem in mathematics. This problem is difficult because in the real world it involves many different factors and criteria to consider. We show that for practical sensor-target and weapon-target pairings a well-known auction algorithm should be considered the preferred choice.
