Addressing the challenges inherent in passive unmanned search and rescue missions at sea,including difficulties in target identification,broad search areas,and slow route planning,a strategic process was introduced for maritime search and rescue area planning and a route planning model specifically designed for passive unmanned missions.By thoroughly understanding the emergency response operations at sea and the specific needs for route planning,an optimal routing model have been developed considering factors such as the efficiency of search and rescue area coverage and the cost of rescue routes.The objective function is constructed within these constraints and solved using the whale optimization algorithm.The validity of the model is confirmed through designated scenario experiments,indicating that our proposed model for maritime passive unmanned search and rescue route planning is capable of swiftly identifying the search and rescue area and efficiently discovering a route with reduced costs.

In response to the significant impact of urban waterlogging on residents, the economy, and urban infrastructure in recent years, this study introduces an innovative wargame-based evaluation approach for emergency rescue plans. The primary goal of this research is to improve emergency rescue capabilities while minimizing costs and identifying gaps in existing emergency rescue plans. To effectively evaluate these capabilities, we extract specific content related to OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) dynamics in rescue actions. Furthermore, a comprehensive index system is developed to evaluate emergency rescue capabilities in the context of urban waterlogging scenarios. To address the challenges associated with intelligent optimization and evaluation of such systems, we employ a radial basis function neural network and conduct wargame experiments to obtain data and measure capability indices. The evaluation model is trained using data samples to ensure robust performance. In addition to the proposed model evaluation and analysis framework, we also present an evaluation and analysis method for RBF (Radical Basis Function) neural networks and compare the prediction results with those obtained from GRNN (Generalized Regression Neural Network), PNN (Product-based Neural Network), and BP (Back Propagation) neural network algorithms. This model efficiently processes and fits data by simulating expert experience for evaluation purposes. Such an approach takes advantage of machine learning's sensitivity to data characteristics, effectively avoiding the influence of human factors while stably reflecting the mapping relationship between indicators and performance outcomes. This research presents a novel solution with significant implications for the development of urban emergency rescue systems that address the challenges posed by urban waterlogging incidents.

Quick and efficient mission planning is essential in maritime search and rescue (SAR). This includes defining the search area and developing an effective strategy. The task is fraught with challenges due to the difficulty of determining location information and the impact of complex meteorological environments. The primary objective of SAR mission planning is the rapid deployment of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to the incident area. While many planning algorithms prioritize the shortest route, there’s a lack of mission planning measures that maximize SAR effectiveness. In addition, the joint deployment of USVs increases the success rate compared to individual operations. Therefore, this paper presents a task assignment framework for USVs in SAR missions that considers the probability of success and time constraints. USVs are used to search for lost targets, and the framework consists of the following three modules: (1) a module for predicting the location of the overboard target to be rescued; (2) a module for modeling the probability of mission success; (3) a module for assigning search tasks to USVs. The framework first analyzes the search area. Then, it predicts the target location with a stochastic particle method, which incorporates marine environment forecast data to update the mission target location. To improve the scientific nature of USV search and rescue mission plans, an evaluation model is developed to assess mission capability. Simulation experiments and task scheme analysis validate its effectiveness.

Air defense operation is important in modern warfare. We study the weapon target assignment(WTA) problem and corresponding heuristic algorithm. Three-stage WTA model was proposed and novel objective function was constructed to emphasize the different benefits of shooting down missiles at different stages. The original sparrow search algorithm(SSA) was improved and the experiments we performed in this paper showed that the modified algorithm is more effective in solving the three-stage WTA problem.
