Abstract

This paper presents global and optimal solution for weapon assignment problems using the Munkres assignment algorithm. We propose a new modeling method of weapon assignment problems concerning some constraints of weapon systems. In this paper, we compares the Munkres weapon assignment algorithm with two other algorithms employing a search tree model in terms of computational complexity and performance. One is an optimal algorithm using exhausted search and the other is a greedy algorithm which selects the first search result as a solution. The experiment results show that the Munkres weapon assignment algorithm has better performance and less computational complexity in comparison with the two other algorithms.
