description Abstract To tackle the challenge of combat resource allocation problem (CRAP), especially under resource constraints, the dilemma between the efficiency of combat resource utilization and the efficiency of problem-solving. We propose a novel genetic algorithm that integrates a restricted tournament selection strategy with sociological principles, named the restricted tournament selection social genetic algorithm (RTS2GA). Initially, we develop a comprehensive model for the allocation of combat resources that takes into account multiple constraints. Then, building upon the traditional Genetic Algorithm, we introduce a novel selection strategy known as restricted tournament selection to enhance the diversity of the algorithm’s population. In addition, we innovatively incorporate the concept of ‘group effect’ from sociology, adding a socialization operator to the algorithm to accelerate convergence and improve the quality of optimal solutions. Comprehensive evaluation confirms RTS2GA’s trade-off profile: though incurring added computational costs, it achieves competitive convergence speed (marginally behind PSO/MPSO; comparable to GA/DE/GA-APSO) while establishing definitive superiority in global optimization across all five benchmarks.
