Optimizing Maritime Emergency Communication Base Siting via Hybrid Adaptive Multi-Objective Algorithm

Maritime emergency communication facilities are essential for establishing land-sea connectivity and supporting disaster rescue operations. However, current systems often struggle with slow deployment, link instability, and insufficient coverage. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a method utilizing aircraft equipped with communication payloads for rapid network construction in target sea areas, aiming to satisfy the dual demands of quick response and stable transmission. A critical component of this framework is the optimal selection of aircraft bases. Addressing the distinct coverage capabilities of different platforms, we construct a multi-objective optimization model for base location. This model integrates a hierarchical coverage mechanism involving multiple aircraft types and is solved using the proposed Hybrid Adaptive Multi-objective Optimization (HAMO) algorithm. Experimental validation in the Bohai Sea region demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model.
