Abstract:Addressing the requirements of global supply route optimization and significant task priority differences in alpine mountainous material support, existing task planning algorithms lack a flexible priority adaptation mechanism, resulting in either ineffective priority guarantee for high-priority tasks or excessive route redundancy due to hard constraints. A flexible guaranteed priority constraint mechanism is designed, and an improved PSO is adopted to achieve dynamic balance between priority and route efficiency. A mission planning model for carrier drones is constructed, integrating flexible guaranteed priority constraints and range constraints. Through flexible constraint design, the route redundancy problem caused by traditional hard priority is avoided. The parameters of the improved PSO algorithm are optimized using linearly decreasing inertia weight and dynamic asynchronous acceleration coefficients to adapt to the mission planning requirements under priority constraints, enhancing the algorithm's search sensitivity to high-priority nodes. Multiple simulation validations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed improved PSO algorithm. Compared with the improved PSO without priority constraints and the PSO considering only priority constraints, the proposed priority constraint design balances total route length and support priority while ensuring priority completion of high-priority tasks. This mechanism achieves dynamic balance between priority and route efficiency, meeting the practical application needs of material support in alpine mountainous areas.
