Calculation Model of SGR Based on Operational Environment Configuration Resources

The sortie generation rate(SGR) of naval weapons such as aircraft carriers and unmanned surface vessels (USVs) is the key index for judging the comprehensive operational capabilities of a system, where the resource configuration will greatly affect such a system. Therefore, research on the optimal combination of configuration resource of an operational system can improve the system’s operational capabilities. Using an aircraft carrier SGR as an example and based on the sortie-by-waves model, this study develops a simulation calculation model of the SGR. To avoid the problem of having to repeat the calculation to reduce the randomness of the results, a simulation calculation model is fitted by a back-propagation(BP) neural network, and a BP-SGR calculation model of is obtained. An optimization of the deck resource configuration with the BP-SGR calculation model is also studied. Through a simulation, all of the SGR combination values of 21 groups optimal resource configurations obtained by the BP-SGR calculation model fall within a 99% prediction range of the simulation model’s SGR calculation results. In addition, all relative errors are shown to be less than 1%, thus verifying the applicability of the model to resource configuration optimization. The BP-SGR calculation model can thus be used to solve configuration problems related to aircrafts and USVs.
