The previous studies approach the field artillery fire scheduling problem as deterministic and do not explicitly include information on the potential scenario changes. Unfortunately, the effort used to optimize fire sequences and reduce the total time of engagement is often inefficient as the collected military intelligence changes. Instead of modeling the fire sequencing problem as deterministic model, we consider a stochastic artillery fire scheduling model and devise a solution methodology to integrate possible enemy attack scenarios in the evaluation of artillery fire sequences. The goal is to use that information to find robust solutions that withstand disruptions in a better way, Such an approach is important because we can proactively consider the effects of certain unique scheduling decisions. By identifying more robust schedules, cascading delay effects will be minimized. In this paper we describe our stochastic model for the field artillery fire sequencing problem and offer revised robust stochastic model which considers worst scenario first. The robust stochastic model makes the solution more stable than the general two-stage stochastic model and also reduces the computational cost dramatically. We present computational results demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposed method by EVPI, VSS, and Variances.

This paper focuses on scheduling problems arising in the military. In planned artillery attack operations, a large number of threatening enemy targets should be destroyed to minimize fatal loss to the friendly forces. We consider a situation in which the number of available weapons is smaller than the number of targets. Therefore it is required to develop a new sequencing algorithm for the unplanned artillery attack operation. The objective is to minimize the total loss to the friendly forces from the targets, which is expressed as a function of the fire power potential, after artillery attack operations are finished. We develop an algorithm considering the fire power potential and the time required to destroy the targets. The algorithms suggested in this paper can be used in real artillery attack operations if they are modified slightly to cope with the practical situations.

We focus on the Real time Fire Scheduling Problem (RFSP), the problem of determining the sequence of targets to be fired at, for the objective of minimizing threatening probability to achieve tactical goals. In this paper, we assume that there are m available weapons to fire at n targets (> m) and the weapons are already allocated to targets. One weapon or multiple weapons can fire at one target and these fire operations should start simultaneously while the finish time of them may be different. We suggest mathematical modeling for RFSP and several heuristic algorithms. Computational experiments are performed on randomly generated test problems and results show that the suggested algorithms outperform the firing method which is generally adopted in the field artillery.

장차전은 첨단화된 무기체계와 최근의 전쟁양상을 고려해 볼 때 화력전의 성공여부가 전쟁의 결정적인 영향을 초래하게 될 것이다. 하지만 현재 한국군 포병전력은 수적으로 북한군에 비해 열세이며, 이를 극복하기 위한 방법으로 신속/정확한 사격으로 적에게 치명적인 피해를 줄 것이 요구된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다수 표적을 수리적 모델을 이용하여 사격순서를 정하여 사격종료시간을 최소화함으로써 작전 운영의 융통성을 부여해 줄 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 야전포병부대에서 화력계획 작성시 고려할 수 있는 지휘관의 의도, 일부 포병부대의 예상되는 사격제한(진지변환, 사거리 한계),우선순위 표적(핵심, 고가치), 화력계획의 차후 변경 등 각종 실질적 상황을 고려하여 최대한 빠른 시간에 사격을 마칠 수 있도록 하였다. 이와 같은 사격순서 결정문제를 혼합정수 계획모형(MIP: Mixed Integer Programming)으로 구성하였고 분석 수단으로 ILOG OPL을 이용하여 최적해를 구하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 모형을 야전포병부대에서 활용한다면, 작전운용간 좀더 효과적이고 신속한 사격이 되어 전투력 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

We focus on the weapon target assignment and fire scheduling problem (WTAFSP) with the objective of minimizing the makespan, i.e., the latest completion time of a given set of firing operations. In this study, we assume that there are m available weapons to fire at n targets (> m). The artillery attack operation consists of two steps of sequential procedure : assignment of weapons to the targets; and scheduling firing operations against the targets that are assigned to each weapon. This problem is a combination of weapon target assignment problem (WTAP) and fire scheduling problem (FSP). To solve this problem, we define the problem with a mixed integer programming model. Then, we develop exact algorithms based on a dynamic programming technique. Also, we suggest how to find lower bounds and upper bounds to a given problem. To evaluate the performance of developed exact algorithms, computational experiments are performed on randomly generated problems. From the results, we can see suggested exact algorithm solves problems of a medium size within a reasonable amount of computation time. Also, the results show that the computation time required for suggested exact algorithm can be seen to increase rapidly as the problem size grows. We report the result with analysis and give directions for future research for this study. This study is meaningful in that it suggests an exact algorithm for a more realistic problem than existing researches. Also, this study can provide a basis for developing algorithms that can solve larger size problems.
