Research on Task Assignment of Multi-UAVs Based on Improved Two-Stage Hierarchical Auction in Collaborative Defense Scenario

Abstract

The great role played by UAVs in high-tech wars such as the Naka conflict and the Russia-Ukraine conflict has received widespread attention and importance from the militaries of various countries, and UAV technology has entered a period of rapid development. With the increasing scale of participating UAVs, the human decision-making capability can no longer meet the rapidly changing requirements of modern warfare. In this paper, we propose a two-stage hierarchical auction-based Multi-UAVs dynamic task assignment algorithm for the multi-type complex task assignment problems of “decoy” “deception” and “interception” in collaborative defense combat task scenarios. A dynamic Multi-UAVs task assignment algorithm based on a two-stage hierarchical auction is proposed to cope with the multi-type task assignment of heterogeneous UAVs and to enhance the cooperation among UAVs. At the same time, a simulation environment is established and dynamic verification is carried out to provide technical support for improving the success rate and adaptability of UAV equipment system combat tasks.
