Based on the research background of networked operation battlefield resource deployment,the tactical command and control resource deployment problem is described.The minimum of the root mean-square of the decision-making entities' workloads is taken as the objective function,a mathematical model is set up.Then,an algorithm based on the improved hierarchical clustering is presented.With the input information of task-platform assignment results,the hierarchical clustering method is improved with three aspects: the setting of the number range of decision-making entities,the selection method of combination items from current decision-making entities,and the assessment of the decision-making entities' capability restrictions.In each layer clustering,the N-best standby strategy and the combination item selection method are analyzed detailedly.Based on an operational scenario,the performances of the proposed algorithm are compared with other algorithms.
