A Method of Information Fusion on the Unmanned Weapon System

Abstract:

Aiming at improving the identification and judgment on objectives of unmanned weapon system in the battlefield, this paper puts forward a new efficient method to infuse conflict evidence orienting towards shortcomings existing in the Dempster-Shafter (D-S) evidence theory when fusing conflict evidence. This paper is to improve the D-S Evidence Theory, by firstly conducting research on the influence of a certain operational environment on the sensors precision in the unmanned weapon system, and by secondly establishing sensors weight values based on fixed basic probability assignment by exploiting AHP. The improved approach can enhance the reliability of identification result, which has been proved via simulation experiments, and it improves the performance of target recognition system to a certain extent.
