Task allocation of multiple UAVs and targets using improved genetic algorithm

In this paper, task allocation of multi-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is studied, that is, multi-UAVs from different bases should be allocated to attack multiple targets. Based on the existing task allocation model, which just take the values of targets, UAVs and weapons into account, the fuel consumption is added into consideration to make the model much more practical. An improved genetic algorithm is proposed for such a multi-UAVs multi-targets task allocation. Simulation results show that the algorithm is significantly effective and the allocation result is reasonable.
