Cooperative Optimization Method of UAV Swarm for Multi-objective High-Precision Location

Abstract

AbstractIn the field of electromagnetic radiation source location, using UAVs to locate the radiation source target has become a new location method. At present, the UAV swarm cooperative optimization method for high-precision location has some challenges, such as insufficient ability of multi-objective high-precision location, poor timeliness and so on. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a cooperative optimization method of UAV swarm for multi-objective location. Firstly, the multi-objective joint location accuracy is derived, which is taken as the objective function of swarm cooperative optimization. Secondly, in order to allocate multiple UAVs to multiple targets efficiently, the initialization strategy based on target isolation and the random allocation method of UAV based on probability are proposed. Finally, by combining the above improved strategies, an optimization method of UAV swarm cooperative location is proposed. Through the analysis of experimental results, the cooperative optimization method in this paper has obvious advantages in global optimization and convergence ability, which can improve the joint location accuracy and optimization speed.KeywordsUAV swarmMulti-objective high-precision locationJoint location accuracyCooperative optimization
