A Cooperative Search Strategy for Moving Targets Using UAV Swarms

Abstract:

This paper designs a cooperative strategy for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) searching for moving and possibly evading targets. By arranging UAVs into an efficient flight configuration, they optimize their integrated sensing capability, and are thus capable of searching smart targets than uncooperative UAVs. If a UAV is shot down, the team adapts to continue the mission with surviving assets. Simulation results show that our proposed strategy can achieve superior search performance.
