Abstract

Aiming at the typical problems of deploying sonar buoys in appointed sea area, this paper summarizes two problems existing in previous studies and puts forward a quick deployment method for sonar buoys detection under the overview situation of underwater cluster targets. Firstly, considering the influence of an underwater target course on target strength, the overlapping coefficient 'buoy group' mode is introduced to deploy the array. And combining with the random distribution law of underwater targets in the exploration area, the mathematical optimization model for sonar buoys detection under the overview situation of underwater cluster targets is established. Then, the fitness function corresponding to the buoy deployment optimization model is defined, and the adaptive fireworks algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem for obtaining the sonar buoys deployment scheme. Finally, through the comparison and analysis of results for the seven group simulation experiments, the conclusions that are beneficial to improve the detection efficiency of the sonar buoy deployment are obtained. The proposed method can provide useful support for underwater cluster multi-target detection and the problem of counterattack underwater cluster multi-platform.
