Optimization model for array deployment of marine communication relay platform

Abstract

Aiming at the comprehensive application of marine relay equipment, combined with the maximum communication distance and target threat distribution and other conditions, this paper proposes an programming model to solve the optimal deployment of communication relay platform array. This model is based on the principle of the shortest distance between the route starting point and the array postion point of the relay platform. It models the array deployment problem of the relay platform under the constraints of communication distance and target threat, and uses the convex optimization method to obtain the analytical form of the optimal solution. The optimal solution has strong interpretability, and the solution process avoids using traditional iterative or heuristic methods, which has the characteristics of small calculation. The example analysis shows that the optimal solution of the array deployment can be obtained quickly for the different position distribution of the mission platform and the threat target.
