Simulation-Based Tactics Generation for Warship Combat Using the Genetic Algorithm
In most existing warships combat simulation system, the tactics of a warship is manipulated by human operators. For this reason, the simulation results are restricted due to the capabilities of human operators. To deal with this, we have employed the genetic algorithm for supporting the evolutionary simulation environment. In which, the tactical decision by human operators is replaced by the human model with a rule-based chromosome for representing tactics so that the population of simulations are created and hundreds of simulation runs are continued on the basis of the genetic algorithm without any human intervention until finding emergent tactics which shows the best performance throughout the simulation. Several simulation tests demonstrate the techniques.
