Strategy Representation and Application in Air Battle Planning
作战计划策略的表示与应用

Strategies are important in human problem solving. In the computer-aided air battle planning, strategies from human commanders must be considered as one of the key components. The paper mainly consists of two parts. Firstly, a method is introduced to describe plan strategies by means of strategic components. There are generally six key factors that influence the effectiveness of an air battle plan. For these factors we design six basic strategic components, and we have used the components to construct four typical strategies in air battle planning. Secondly, a comprehensive computational framework is designed based on planning strategies and Structured Optimization Model (SOM), in which planning strategies impact on the SOM in two aspects: influencing the key parameters of SOM, and adding new constraints to the SOM. Using this framework, we can obtain a group of operational plans corresponding to different strategies.
