Abstract: An optimization method for spatial configuration of aircraft swarm based on self-adaptive Tent chaos search grey wolf optimizer is proposed for the optimal spatial configuration of aircraft swarm in the coordinated attack of fighters and unmanned aerial vehicles. A mathematical model of cooperative attack zone of air-to-air missiles is established, and a calculating method for cooperative attack zone under the condition of any aircraft swarm spatial configuration is proposed. The self-adaptive Tent chaos search is applied in grey wolf optimizer to improve the performance of the algorithm, thus avoiding the local optimum and the slow search speed. The size of cooperative attack zone is taken as the target function, and the spatial configuration of aircraft swarm is optimized by using the improved algorithm. The simulated results show that the improved algorithm can be used quickly to obtain the optimal spatial configuration with the largest cooperative attack zone and the minimal threat, and the cooperative attack zone of aircraft swarm is significantly larger than the sum of single aircraft attack zone under the optimal spatial configuration.
