Abstract
This paper describes the application of genetic programming to generate algorithms for control of time-delays in anti-air missiles equipped with proximity fuzes. Conventional algorithms for determining these delay-times rely on human effort and experience, and are generally deficient. It is demonstrated that by applying genetic programming determination of the timing can be automated and made near-optimal.
