Abstract: Weapon-target assignment (WTA) problems may be separately decomposed by K sub-optimal problems based on the number K of resources being protected with decomposition coordination method in the large-scale system theory.The coordinator is then used to coordinate solutions of all sub-problems in order to get the best results of the overall weapon target assignment problem.Simulation results indicate that the method is effective and can be performed in real time.

Key words: WTA problem, large-scale system, decomposition coordination
