A/I supervisor for F-4 weapon coefficient optimization

A hybrid technique of nonlinear regression analysis coupled with gradient descent was developed for F-4 weapon coefficient optimization, reducing computation time to two or three minutes. An additional artificially intelligent supervisor was used to detect algorithm instabilities, make corrections, and restart the process. The supervisor uses the first law of good electrical engineering (when the thing goes unstable, turn down the gain). The new algorithm not only produces better solutions, but works without operator assistance. It is concluded that the result will be more accurate weapon delivery
