Abstract: Under the condition of informatization, the sensor resources allocation is the key content of sensor resource management in the warfare of maritime maneuverable formation. Aiming at the problem that sensor resources allocation model’s constructing factors are not comprehensive and the amount of calculation and time of allocation algorithm sharply increases with the increase of the number of sensor targets, this paper proposes a kind of target function which considers the target priority, the matching precision of sensor to the targets, the scope of the sensors and the cooperative ability, then sets up a kind of maritime maneuverable formation’s sensor resources allocation model based on improved ant colony algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly improves the convergence rate and time satisfaction, verifies the feasibility of allocation model.

Key words: sensor resource allocation, target function, ant colony algorithm
