Optimization of missile trajectories by means of evolution strategy
Abstract
The paper deals with solutions of optimization problems, obtained by the application of evolution strategy to missile engineering and development. Evolution strategy is an optimum seeking method that attempts to apply the rules of biological evolution - mutation and selection - to technical optimization problems as closely as possible. A choice of problems is presented to show the successful application of evolution strategy to missile problems. It is a very simple method, generally applicable, and needs no special mathematical treatment of the problem under consideration.
