Bilateral Contracts with Industry

Naval Group

Participants: Huilong Zhang, François Dufour, Dann Laneuville, Alexandre Genadot.

The increasing complexity of warfare submarine missions has led Naval Group to study new tactical help functions for underwater combat management systems. In this context, the objective is to find optimal trajectories according to the current mission type by taking into account sensors, environment and surrounding targets. This problem has been modeled as a discrete-time Markov decision process with finite horizon. A quantization technique has been applied to discretize the problem in order to get a finite MDP for which standard methods such as the dynamic and/or the linear programming approaches can be applied. Different kind of scenarios have been considered and studied.

Thales Optronique

Participants: Benoîte de Saporta, François Dufour, Tiffany Cerchi.

Maintenance, optimization, fleet of industrial equipements The topic of this collaboration with Université de Montpellier and Thales Optronique is the application of Markov decision processes to the maintenance optimization of a fleet of industrial equipments.
